I've done CT to Ann Arbor via Canada and via Penn/Ohio, they're really close in time (I forget which was faster). Driving through Pennsylvania is a drag though, such a long state....and the radio stations on I-80 don't usually last for more than a song or two (not that they're any good anyway) :rolleyes:
Going to Detroit is faster via Canada just because Detroit is essentially bordering Canada. Though I'm not sure how much going from NH makes a difference....maybe half an hour? You still have to take I-90 and from where I live in CT to where I get onto I-90 is a pretty short distance. :shrug:
EDIT: according to Google Maps, Manchester to Ann Arbor is 12:52 via Kings Highway (Canada), 13:24 via NY/Ohio (I-90), 13:51 via Penn/Ohio (I-80, which probably will be under construction anyway). So only 30min extra to stay in the USA, not bad :shrug: No dealing with the border either, which is always a plus in my book :p:
Price rates are different depending on the quality of the pictures. Also, when I say big money, keep in mind that that I'm a student. Big money pretty much starts from 20 beers a night.Quote:

Yes. I looked and I'd just go south once I got to buffalo and around the southern side of the lake.Quote:

I would suggest going south of lake erie to get to michigan. As already stated its not much more driving time, and the border is usually a mess if your gonna cross here in Buffalo.

Drove NY to Lansing in 9hrs one winter night in '02. It was a Sunday and the cops were probably focusing on staying warm. Anyway, I had to make it back in time for classes and the roads were virtually deserted so I stood on it. I reckon guys could shave 2-3 hrs off those times without even speeding. Just watch out for those state troopers in Cuyahoga County (Cleveland, Ohio), they have the hots for everybody Michigan-bound, football season or not.Quote:
