According to our GPS, we have 15 hours of driving left. If we don't stop, we'd be there at 10:30 tonight. We are very seriously considering driving straight through and getting there tonight.

You're coming with me next year. You and the rest of the Midwest Gangstas have no choice.
My a/c isn't leaking. It's overcharged. Found that out when I went to fill it up this morning. First time we stop for fuel or potty break, I'll discharge it a little. It's work just barely well enough to keep us from being miserable.

You suck. We're 42 miles from Columbus. Just stopped for petrol and fixed the a/c. Nice and chilly now.
Got hit on by some super creepy dude. 12 hours of driving time left.

Are you going through the city or up 84? LMK, if you go down 84, you literally whale right by my house. I'll buy some burgs and dogs if so, and do some grilling.
That goes for anyone coming down tonight through I-84 in CT. My house is open if there is crashing for a few needed. It'll just be me and this 30-pack, so stop on in.

More like an old hippy guy. He's an artist who is low in sales so he took up truck driving. And wouldn't leave me alone. I'm all like just minding my own business and he's all hey bro, what's up? and I'm all like just letting noxious fumes into the atmosphere and he's all like

Definitely gonna try and make it next year. I wanna go parts digging at Dustin and Stef's place hahaha.
Since you're the Midwest replica of Dustin's car, I might have to be the Midwest replica of Stef's. hahaha

Been talking to Kurt. Dan, they're gonna be shutting down half of the GWB tonight. My number is 860-356-5480 if anyone needs an alternate route or is up for a quick hello.
To be honest, I'm not even sure what the GWB is. I know I'm on same route Kurt is, I-80 to I-287, then I-95 the rest of the way.

George Washington Bridge. If you're going 287 through NJ, you might be all right, but the Tappan Zee bridge still backs up when the GWB does.
hopefully the GWB wont be too busy around 8-9

I was expecting some traffic around NYC anyway. Is there a better route I should go?

They're doing bridgework from 10pm-8am. You could go 80-81-84-384-6-195/95 from PA and from the tip of 81, it's 6 hours.

Tappan Zee bridge is usually a much better route than going over the George Washington bridge, but since you guys aren't from around here, it might be a little hard to figure out
Looks like I'll be leaving in rain. Bah.

I made it right past the Tappan Zee bridge. Didn't even have to slow down. We're about an hour away from Dustin and Stef's. Total gas bill so far: $135 and counting.
