Fine, CT to ATL, GA straight par fuel stops. What should be a 15 hour trip was around 19 to 20 hours with traffic and construction.

1000 miles

That's kindergarten

Go an extra 350 miles, in the dark, no street lights, with DEER in the road, on zero sleep from the night before

do that all the time... you want venison chili, venison stew, and venison burgers... roll my way... no lights, no signs, nowhere....

It takes all of you guys way too long to travel these distances.

3:30am drove to JFK --> O'Hare --> Quad City (Moline) - picked up M3 - drove from Davenport, Iowa to New Haven, CT at 10:30am the next day. No sleep. At a sandwich at panera in Davenport, one red bull at a gas station and 1 sbux coffee + protein can. 1,080 miles ~15hrs driving stopping only for gas.

Well, it was quite ok today.

We had a wonderful trip from the Netherlands to deep in Germany and back. Since we wanted to buy parts and did't know how big they would be, we took the X5 diesel.

The autobahn was fantastic, ZERO traffic jams, accidents or other struggle. There was some work done on the road but not to much.

1.500 kms, one stop after 400km and we arrived obviously at about 750km. Spent some time and picked up nice NOS spare parts for my Mercedes Truck. We went home and stopped for some diner halfway.

Never had an average this high even though we had quite some slow traffic in the towns we visited. On the autobahn we drove most of the time between 170 and 190 kmh, which is fast enough going the X.

1100 kms in a 85 corolla hatchie. Through snow, rain, and ice. No ac, no heater, white tee was my windshield wiper. College life.

I'm sorry. You have endured much, my friend.

Drove from Seattle WA to San Clemente, CA with only a driver swap and gas along the way in my 2001 Toyota Tacoma. That's just shy of 1200 miles. My longest stint of that was about 450mi.

[shoei]

Longest I've ever done in one stretch only stopping for fuel was LA to Albuquerque, NM (12 hours more or less) slept a few hours and then hit the road for another 12 hours from Alb to Roger's Arkansas... Best friend moved to be close to family after his wife popped out a baby so I drove his car and he drives his wife's car...

Exhausting following another car closely for that much of a drive, but we made the most of it, getting some walkie talkies to talk shit back and forth... Never doing that again... There's been rumblings about them wanting to move back to the beach, cars would need to be brought back - I told him to go fack himself...

[Beartato]

The farthest I've driven without a break is ~14 hours, from Albuquerque, NM to Fresno, CA. That was a bad idea. Previously my upper limit had been 11 hours overall but I didn't really wanna stop.

So you went from one pile of crap to another flaming pile of crap?

Back in my young and dumb days, I tried to drive non-stop from Massachusetts to Ft. Hood, Texas, popping No-Doze tablets and drinking Coke. This was in the early 80's when there weren't as many interstates. I had to drive to south SC and then west. Made it to the far side of Mississippi (~1400 miles) before some guardian angel driver woke me from a sound sleep at 55MPH (yeah, those days). It was in the wee hours of the morning and luckily I was on a straight and empty road. I pulled into the next rest area and slept for a few hours. Never again.

These days I can do maybe 10 hours before my back forces me to take an overnight break.

Leaving SEMA two years ago Vegas to md. Stopped for rest once in St. Louis. So 24 hours straight in an Evo x with cage and rear seat delete.

It's there to remind everyone exactly how big Texas actually is! I love it!

Pensacola to Key West is very close to the same distance. 836 miles.

Florida is endless. Like driving on a treadmill.

We once flew out to Ft. Bliss in El Paso from Ft. Hood in Killeen in OH-58 scout helicopters. That was a long ass flight and we never left Texas.

Europeans have a hard time wrapping their minds around this stuff. You leave the center of Germany and drive 24 hours, you'd better be heading west or you're gonna get wet. UK friends told us once to take the train from London to York and then rent a car because it was such a long drive to York. It's like 3-1/2 hours.

around 400 miles in a 1992 toyota camry. I was driving from Greeboro NC to Boston Ma. My first stop for gas was somewhere off I-81 in Pennsylvania.

Shit man, if I were stuck on a road trip and only had you on the other end of the walkie talkie, I'd jerk the steering wheel to the right and off myself...

So funny. Yes, driving down from Michigan is brutal for this. I lived in the Southeast area... so, in like 60-70 minutes, I was out of Michigan.

A few hours in Ohio... then Tennessee and Kentucky whip right by. Georgia seems long after those two... and THEN you see the welcome to the sunshine state signs... 5.5 hours later... home. Hehe...

When I split the drive up, I would drive to Atlanta on day one (MI, OH, KY, TN, and part of GA), then the rest of the way on day two (the other part of GA and FL...) Haha... good times.

No. Not good times. At least for me, when i hit the FL border it's only about 3hrs or so. Because closer and i don't drive a moving truck.
