The average distance from Earth to Sun is 93,000,000 miles. Assume you have a speed limit of 75 mph, it will take 1,240,000 hours.
Since a year has (365.25 days x 24 hrs) 8765.8 hours, it would take you about 141.5 years to 'drive' to the sun.
Assuming your car got 35 mpg, it would take 2,657,142 gallons of gasoline, and at about $3.00 a gallon, the cost would be $7,971,428.40. Which is probably over the limit on your Chevron card.
Of course, you should pack a lunch and probably figure there are no rest stops or gas stations along the way.
You'd burn up a long way before you would reach your destination anyways, assuming the gamma and x-ray radiation didn't kill you.
I assume you mean driving a car? The sun is 93 million miles away approximately, so at normal automobile speeds, (say, 60 miles per hour) it would take about 177 years. I guess you'd run out of gas first! To get some idea of the speed of light, it takes about 8 minutes to get here from the sun.
