My Ride: 2005 545i SMG Alpine White/Black Leather, Sport, Logic7, Cold Weather, Navigation
May I say it was one of most joyous rides of my life. I-95 is a great highway. Once you pass Washington DC the fun begins. I left at about 11PM from New York City for my road trip, and only stopped for gas. Had 2 friends with me who were lucky enough to take turns with me gettign behind the wheel. There was a point where we were topping out the car at 161MPH for a half an hour straight. It was ridiculously sick. I want to do it again. Thank g-d, the cops dint get me. I was equipped with my V1 Radar detector. awesome. We arrived in Miami at 3PM the next day totalling the time to about 17 Hours total travel time. This is probably record setting, there were seldom moments that we were under 120 mph. Note-- if you try this, make sure you wipe off the bugs from your bumper when you arrive. I killed many.

travelling at high speeds for a long time must be awesome
too bad that we dont have such long straights here in europe or we do?
the V1 Radar must be good

I don't see how you did it.
VA, NC & GA are all bad speed trap states. And the V1 isn't any help in NC. The state troopers there are using new radars which the V1 can't detect. I know, because I have a V1.... and have made that drive many times.
