      Setting aside the obvious difficulty of you not actually being able to drive a car all the way around the earth (the Pacific and Atlantic oceans are really big), it would take you around 415 hours (a bit more than 17 days) to drive the 24,900 miles around the circumference of the earth at its widest point (the equator).
