If you could drive through space at 75 mph how long would it take to reach the sun?

The sun is about 93,000,000 miles away, so at 75mph, this would take about
93 000 000 / 75 = 1 240 000 hours
~= 51 667 days
~= 141.5 years.
Light travels at about 186 000 miles per second, so it takes about
93 000 000 / 186 000 = 500 seconds
= 8 minutes 20 seconds to reach us.
If the sun was to stop shining, we wouldn't know about it for a bit over 8 minutes!
