Guess I'm in my left mind then, because I've done it not once but twice!
First time from Houston to Los Angeles (farther than Houston to Raleigh) in
a TR3 that had literally been sitting in a cornfield.  That time I did have
a chase car (but it was the one that broke down 50 miles from the nearest
exit).

Second time I bought a Stag no less, in OK and drove it to CA.  I could
write a book about that trip ... but in reality it was a lot of fun.  

Even the 4 hours or so I spent in a Wal-Mart parking lot, alternately buying
tools and trying to free up the locked rear brakes.
