How long does it take to drive 27 miles?

My husband and I are interested in visiting an indoor classic car show in the next town over. We’ve never been before, but we really don’t want to miss the award show. How long will it take us to drive 27 miles?

What an exciting event! A beautifully-restored, classic car is a wonderful sight to see and
an awesome project
to undertake. If you want to be on time, you should make sure to leave at least half an hour for the trip:
  • Driving 55-65 mph on 2-lane highways or country roads will take you 23-29 minutes
  • Driving 55-70 mph on a multi-lane highway will take you 23-29 minutes
But keep in mind that these estimates exclude traffic and road conditions. Consider: is it a popular show and will there be lots of traffic? Do you know where to find parking? Could there be a long lineup for tickets? How’s the weather? And are you planning to grab coffee and donuts on the road? Maybe it’s just me, but I love using drive-throughs on road trips.
Spend a little time answering each of these questions and it’s time you’ll save later on the road. And, in case you get envious, just remember that the classic car hobby isn’t necessarily unaffordable—there are ways to save on everything, including
classic car coverage
