With a car crappy enough you can take much longer for a much shorter distance
A German and a Texan meet in a bar.
The Texan says: "When I get in my car and just drive once around my property, it takes all day."
The German says: "Yeah, I had a car like that once."
I once drove 6 hours to get out of Texas only to be stuck miles from the border for another 6 hours because three semi-trucks collided and caught fire...
Once again for those who didn't make it to our last session:
The M25.
I took the family on vacation to Texas a couple weeks ago. Flew into Houston, stayed there a few nights, then Austin for a few, then Dallas, for a couple then back to Houston for a few more and flew back.
Just mapping out the loop between the three cities is 9.5 hours and 623 miles. Add in slowdowns for poor visibility due to weather, stops to charge and use the restroom (with small kids), it was easily 12 hours, at least, of total road time.

We should turn the entire desert in Texas into a solar farm, and provide enough electricity for the entire world.
