Sometimes the freeway traffic flows like a river and you make great time; others times it seems like these trips take forever. Glad yours went well.

13 hours to Anaheim seems very fast. How far south is Anaheim? 12.25 hours to Santa Cruz a few years ago was fast for me - a near record in my mind.

Not a bad time at all.

I've done the drive a few times since we've had the house here for a year and still lived down in Anaheim.

My average was usually 15 - 17 hours but that was the speed limit and doing stops.

I'm guessing she's going to Cal State Fullerton?

south of l.a. a little bit,just that stretch in there can take a hour because of traffic,did not have that problem this time,i left about 3 30 in the morning and had very little traffic issues,and ran at a steady 80 for a while till i got to about valencia,and started to push alot harder,steady running at 95,and some areas on the way a bit higher than that ,only stopped for gas 3 times,it was one of my quickest drives down there or back i have ever done,and i have done that drive alot

Glock I'm callin' you out. California speed limit = 15 mph over posted. See you know it's true. They wonder what planet us Oregonians are on with speeds so slow as to speed limit ourselves.

15 MPH? You're giving them the benefit of the doubt. It was insane the short time I lived out there, when the freeways moved, they sure as **** moved. Sometimes I would find myself doing 80-90MPH WITH traffic.

I hardly ever spent time on the Oregon freeways since most of the time I came out here to visit family, we'd only be on the freeway for a short while then onto 99W. I'm getting accustomed to the new slower paced speeds, again. hahaha.

PS. You better speed up the next time I get behind you, my car needs to be going atleast 75 to function properly.

My record is 5 hours... but we have no speed limit hahaha...

17 hours Temecula (an hour south of Anaheim) to Seattle. And this was WITH having to do some emergency plastic surgery to my poor skid plate (my dad hit a raccoon and broke the skidplate on my very low car).

And then I got stuck in horrible traffic, and it took me three hours to go from Seattle to Bellingham. Such is life.
