Fly or Drive?

Here is the question: A business trip will take me from Atlanta,GA to Houston, TX the week of July 6th. (about 850 miles)

So should I Drive or Fly?

If driving it would be 05' 2500 Suburban 4x4, or 98' 12v Dodge Cummins 2500 quad cab 4x4. The dodge has extra 150 gallon fuel tank in bed, could go round trip without having to fill up. Ticket price isn't the issue, being able to get home if an event happens is. Vehicles are WELL maintained.

My wife wants me to Fly, faster/easier (home in 4-5 hours) versus 14-16 hour drive. If I drive, I Could (if I want to) "convoy" with a group going to the same business trip of about 10-15 other vehicles (50-75 people) , some are friends, some are "friends of friends". This group is going to make it a two day drive, versus driving straight thru.

Thoughts reasons?

Thank you for your comments.

Like Others Here, I Now Have My Own SHTF To Deal With

Yep, me, The Old Goat and I have decided to part company. So far, it's amicable, we're discussing finances, etc. I'm not asking for anything, i'm not that type of person.

I will not be going into detail but suffice to say we have differences of opinions and can't get past them. He's been hoping and demanding I change and I refuse to. He knew what kind a person I was for 9 years before he married me, we'll have been married 3 years the end of this month, but he was secretly hoping that once we married he could get me to do what he wanted and when I didn't he started getting angry to the point of screaming and yelling at me. I've had enough and told him to go take a flying leap into you know where.

So far he's being good about it but we'll see how long that lasts. Anyway, that's what's a going on at the moment. I've been up all night and not sleeping as usual, just felt like getting this off my chest. Thought it might make me feel better.

Father of four killed in road rage shooting

Quote:

PASADENA, Texas — A father of four was fatally shot at his home after a minor traffic altercation turned into a case of road rage, Pasadena Police said. Julie Brock said her husband's truck narrowly missed a car and the other driver was outraged.

Another reminder of why you should always be prepared to defend yourself. People flip out of complete accidents even when no one gets hurt, and that guy who flipped out because you changed lines just a little too close to him for his liking, or stopped too suddenly, or just plain accidentally caused a fender bender.



This guy got followed home for a near accident that didn't hurt anyone in any way and got attacked in his driveway. He won the fist fight, so the rager just went and got his buddy who had a gun, they kicked in the door, shot the guy, and walked off.



This was hardly a surprise attack the 2nd time and had the man owned a gun it would have been ridiculously easy to simply point it at the door and pull the trigger when they kicked it. But not having anything but his fists to defend himself with both against the surprise threat and then the 2nd attack that had plenty of warning, it didn't matter how bad ass of a fighter he was, he's now dead.



I had a similar incident a few years back when I stopped suddenly to avoid hitting a bunch of deer crossing the road. The car way behind me wasn't paying any attention and almost rear-ended me. They then tried to follow me home but I realized I was being followed and didn't stop at my house. Once they realized I was leading them in circles it triggered a chase where they pushed my car off of the road and tried to block me in a few times.



I had my wife and baby in the car. She called 911, the cops didn't care whatsoever and wouldn't do anything about it. Dispatcher directed us to the sheriff's office and they refused to even take a report (and started questioning and accusing us because we had clearly done something illegal to deserve the attack). Had I not realized I was being followed or they had successfully disabled my car, I was completely unarmed at the time and would have likely been killed regardless of how good of a fight I put up as I went down. I just got lucky that my driving was good enough to escape. Regardless we were waiting for a few days for them to recognize our car in the driveway and decide to come kick in the door.



After that I started carrying a weapon in the car and had a rifle for the house. This saved my life a few years later when a stalker with a machete and a gas can attacked and was repelled when he got there and I was sitting behind the door with a rifle pointed at him.



I end up nagging my wife a bit because sometimes she leaves her gun at home, but this kind of thing is precisely why it's so important. Because even if it hasn't happened to you yet, it's not an uncommon occurrence at all.
