DO NOT DO THIS WHILE DRINKING!!
With that out there, get an early night before and wakeup super early.
Pack the car the day before double checking everything (OIL, TIRES, BRAKES, ETC.) .
Leave the house with coffee and togo breakfast before 3:30-4:00AM to avoid any commuter traffic and big trucks.
This can cut hours off of your trip if planned correctly as well as keeping money in your wallet.
Try to split the tab between the passengers if you can pack them in, do it.
