The longest flight-drive time

Sometimes, because of weather conditions and scheduling, my flights have landed quite early, only to be disappointed with a long flight-drive back to the gate. Not counting waits on the taxi-way due to weather (that eliminates you guys who got stranded in DTW inside planes last Jan '99 ), de-icing, etc.. What was your longest flight-drive?

DTW: Consistently. The NW aircraft from SYR lands on a runway (21L), and the path to the terminal is just very long. Lot of stopping because the path crosses active runways. Longest time: 20 minutes.

CDG: Last March. I don't know why. The CO aircraft landed, and then it seemed to circle around the airport, until we parked in a bus gate. Time: 25 minutes
