I don't think Mrs Mafia would appreciate me leaving her home alone, to drive to NC, by myself, for her yearly family gathering....

I have also always found the twins to be comfortable on road trips. I used to drive from Salem, OR to a place east of Sacramento every 4-6 weeks for practice, it was about 9 1/2 hours each way.

"The Geographic Center of the Contiguous United States is located about two miles northwest of Lebanon, Kansas. A small stone pyramid marks the point measured by a survey performed in 1918"

Humfrz probably remembers when the survey was done.

Basically anyone who is in the mid states. Anyone who lives in the coasts, better pack a few sandwiches.

WE would be there.

Mrs. Ultra an I both agree that the Twin is by far the most comfortable long distance driver ever. Of course now she's emotionally invested in her C300 because she always wanted a Benzo. It's nice but it's no Twin.

Doesn't matter. We'd meet up and go. I'd do it.

It would be a pretty miserable drive in my car as it is now but I would go. Drive up north to meet you. Head out east on 84 to ID and pickup Ho, down to SLC for Ichi. Who else is on the way?
