Do I drive or fly?
So, I have to travel to Orlando, Florida from central South Carolina on business in the middle of March. I always fly, but I guess I could drive this time. Of course, my Arctic White mistress has just spent a very sad, depressing, and lonely winter in a cold, barren detached garage. She misses the human touch; of that, I am sure. Do I fly and leave her alone yet again? I am conflicted....

about 3 hours longer

Part of the joy of ownership of great cars is talking with people about them...
...when people find out you're one of the nice Corvette owners, rather than "the other kind" - they go away with smiles and stories and the next time someone says, "Corvette owners are snobs and jerks... they'll say, "Not all of them. I met the nicest....:"

Drive it. My father lives in Sumter, SC and I've taken my C6 and my C7 Z to his house a few times. It's about an 8 hour drive for me. I-10 to I-95.

Drive unless you own your own plane.
In the event you run into a tsa agent or a flight attendant that decides they don't like you, you could very well end up in jail though no fault of your own. All the rights you think you have are totally suspended in an airport and on an airplane.
