...would it take to drive to the sun in a car?

If you keep going at 70mph it would take 150 years - there are no service areas on the way and breakdowns are unlikely.

It would take 5 months to reach the moon at that speed and 15 days to travel around the world. But it would take 40 million years to reach the nearest star, and even if you swapped the car for for a speedier aeroplane it would still take 5 million years to get there.

From the book Do Cats Have Belly Buttons by Paul Heiney

I'm definately not going to make it!
