Ok, we all know that the universe is huge. We all know, for that matter, that our solar system is huge.
But just to put it in perspective: How long would it take for a car traveling at 100 kph (starting at the center of the sun) to reach the end of the solar system (Neptune’s orbit?).

Neptune is about 4.5 billion k's from the centre of the Sun.

Better take some sandwiches with you on that trip!

And some cold weather gear.

So 4 500 000 000/100 gives 45 000 000 hours which is around 5137 years! []

NASA's "new horizons" mission to Pluto is going to take about a decade to get there.

The craft is currently between the orbits of Saturn and Uranus, travelling at approx 60,000 Kph...

Why start from the centre of the Sun ?, start from the surface not so hot and not so far to go.

I assume you'll be taking a Ford Galaxy. []

[Emilio Romero (OP)]

it was either that, or a Chev Nova...
LOL...

[blakestyger]

...or a Vauxhall Astra. []

Mitsubishi Starion ?

The "Starion" name is claimed to be a contraction of "Star of Orion."
It was also widely believed that the Japanese intended the name to be "Stallion",
 but due to lack of "l" in Japanese, the name was spelled with "r" instead .

Lots of choices... great

Nothing could get there faster than a Laser.

Nothing could get there faster than a Laser.

Except a DeLorean  []
