My limit for driving is about 4 hours. More than that, and I'll fly.
I've only driven to a destination outside of Texas once in the last 10-15 years, and that was last summer when I bought a bike in Oklahoma. And, that was only about 3 hours away.
I have recently done a couple of Austin and back or College Station and back trips in one day that resulted in about 6 to 7 hours in the car, but those would be half in the morning and half at night, not six hours continuously.
