Myself & Bikertrash are looking for members to drive with. We will be coming from northern Indiana. We are both 1st timers, would be cool to experience a caraVAN.

I been up there even comming south out of there on a Friday afternoon and it wasn't that Bad, unless of course there is an accident.

Even at it's best there's a lot of traffic, and a lot of 'close calls', much like any other large city.
I wouldn't want to drive anything that I didn't want 'bumped' through there.....
Even if you try to keep some braking distance in front of you, someone will fill it, and if there is construction- well all bets are off.
To top it off, some sections of the freeway have a 45mph speed limit, which no one obeys- and lord help you if you get on a toll road and can't get in the right lane- the toll booths are not on the exits, but seemingly random along the road. I got nailed with a ticket because the GPS wanted me to stay left, and I missed a toll stop....
