Alright lets hear it.
Who's heading to the Toronto show and where are you coming from.

For me its not too bad, Cottage is in Muskoka (cottage country about 1.5 hrs north of Toronto) so I'll be heading down from there.

    in '05, i made it from NYC to Toronto in exactly 7 hours driving 150KM/H (93.75 MPH) on a completely open stretch of road in the middle of the night (my typical time for the drive is 8 hours),...

    Before you take this guy's advice, keep in mind that a new law in Ontario is in effect ... if you are caught going over 150 km/h (about 93 m/h) you have your car impounded on the spot and you face a criminal charge.

    It is only a matter of time before 100Pacer comes knocking on my door asking for a ride to Chicago on August 22nd :)
