Winter in Florida

Actually, google maps says Hampton to Key West is 1692 miles and will take 26 hrs with traffic, 25 without.

I drive from the North Shore to Bradenton, FL. That is a 23 to 24 hour drive at 65 to 70 MPH, speed limit plus a bit with reasonable traffic. It is a 1400 mile trip. Key West is 1,700 miles and you cannot do it at any reasonable speed in 24 hours in traffic.

There are parts of the Keys that are closer than Key West, so it is clearly not a 2,000 mile drive and I doubt anyone can get to any part of the Keys in 23 or 24 hours from Hampton, NH. without a complete disregard for the safety of themselves and others.

There are two misrepresentations here. No real surprise.

Don't shoot the messenger. I was just quoting the narrative to the google map.

Yeah, but have you seen the oversized baggage charge for a 2012 Mustang convertible?
