Good example, in other words.
Can't do it all day like that.
I once did 240 miles from my house to the Galleria in Houston in 2:30, but that was very early in the morning, had a radar detector, and my wife slept the whole way. I wouldn't be able to do it for much more than that if I ever wanted to try it again.
