Still not bad.  Only about twice what it would take to fly.

I drove to Indianapolis back in 2001 for an Aikido event.  Took 11 hours
each way...one day drive.  Unlike those who flew, I got to attend the
whole event.  The airlines decided to cancel flights and rescheduled a
bunch of attendees from the evening Sunday flights to the noon Sunday
flights...and it was a two day event...Saturday and Sunday.

I also didn't have any problems with security getting my weapons into
the car...
