<VV> [FC] Ted's Corvair get to NJ for Christmas

Sat Nov 7 06:38:03 EST 2009

Guys
If it goes to Charlie's in Maiden NC (about 20 miles from me)
Charlie can take it out to 85 in Rockwell, NC (about 35 more miles) And go 
north to where I-85 ends in Petersburg VA where it mergers with I-95. Then 
proceed to Richmond and go north via DC,  Baltimore and Philly  to NJ.  Much 
more direct,  less traffic than 95 going through NC and Southern/Central VA

If it goes to Wilmington, It would be about 2.5  hours NW on I-40  to I-95 
in NC, then another 2.5-3 hours to Richmond, 2 hours to DC, 2.5-3 hours to 
Philly.

Or, take US 17 from Wilmington to VA Beach, then take the Chesapeake Bay 
Bridge Tunnel (US 13) up the Del-Mar-VA Peninsula, and take it straight into 
NJ.   That's 4 lane mostly divided US highway withouth the traffic of the 
interstates, a much nicer trip.

IFO hate I-95, especially the Richmond to DC and DC/Baltimore corridors, 
You can drive 80 MPH and have people going past you like you're standing 
still.  Don't have the nerves for that anymore especially towing.

Hank
