Default Anyone From Indiana/Indianapolis?

I'm flying into Southern Ill. this friday to pick up my new camaro. Gonna be driving it back to PA. My flight gets into Ill. at about 11am, figure a few hours to check it out and grab lunch and then get on the road. The plan is to get as far east as possible before about 8 PM. Problem is, this is gonna put us right in/around/past Indianapolis around Rush hour on a friday. How bad is the traffic on rt. 70 east at this time? Am i gonna hit bumper to bumper traffic or what?

Its a 92 heritage z28 camaro w/ 28k miles, and i know from experience w/ my last thirdgen that in traffic they overheart very easily. Just trying to see what to expect.

traffic on 465 sucks on the north side. I have lived here for 23 years. I would try and avoiding the north west side as much as possible. depending on how you are coming into town you could go around the southside and hit 70 on the east side.

Some days it takes my dad to go from I74 on the west side to I69 on the north side it takes him 2 hours but usually it takes 45 min. Just depends on other people.
