That would make an awesome eclipse road trip!
That's interesting

Maybe, but one would have to average 1600 mph to keep pace with the shadow. Not a realistic expectation, given the expected traffic ;-)

Definitely more than my little black car can handle [emoji1]
Further South and East, doesn't the Eclipse path of Totality follow I-24 pretty closely, from Southern IL to Nashville, at least?

It looks like the centerline will cross I-24 at 3 points between the Ohio River bridge and the KY/TN state line, the first being pretty much right at the bridge itself. It'll tack northeast of I-24 in TN, crossing I-75 between Chattanooga and Knoxville, and exiting the continent somewhere around Georgetown, SC.

Even if you did it in a Mitsubishi Eclipse

FTFY. You're welcome.
