tonight just to ensure i miss all traffic in all cities on the way down - i'm not so worried about the way back since i wont have the auto transport w/ me, but going down i dont want any trouble w/ the Z. I'm not totally positive on the amount of time - tony says closer to 5.5 hours, but not sure i can pull that off while towing the Z so i'm figuring closer to 6.5-7 hrs probably. Thanks again for all the info and help! Wagz
