Default S4 Road trip or fly?

Okay folks here is the deal. I have vacation from work from the 20th of November through the 30th. (Live in SE PA) Planning to go see the parental units, at their house in So-FL for the whole time.

Should I: Drive the S4 all the way down and back. Thereby racking a ton of miles loosing atleast 32 hours to driveing round trip. (and facing exhaustion at the end of each 16 hour leg) (I've done it before) Running up 3000+ miles on the car knocking that much more of the warrentee off.(2400 for the trip another 600 driving around) Spending loads on gas etc.

Or should I just fork over 320 bones to my local airline and fly down?

The thing about the road trip is it could be fun, I get to encounter the crazies from all around the deep south, and I still get to drive my car around while I am florida, instead of borrowing a car from the parents..... and no they dont have anything fun like the S4. Though my dad keeps hinting at the purchase of an M5....

Default Would everyone stop bitching about miles...You bought the car to drive it!!

Road trips are very fun. If you have the time I'd do that. Meet up with fellow AWer's in Florida. Just my $.02
