What's the furthest you've driven at one time?

Done Los Angeles, CA to Portland, OR several times. It's normally 18 hrs for the 1000 mile journey including stops, food and gas when weather is good.

I went for christmas once, BIG MISTAKE. Took me 27 hours b/c of snow. I powered through with coffee and having my sister drive when ever the road was clear so I can nap. Once morning came, a majority of the mountain passes I just 4wd the previous night needed a police escort through it.

 

Love the road trips...
most recently from the Philly Suburbs to Bozeman Montana - +2100 miles one way... Left my house on a Tuesday at 1pm and arrived in Bozeman at 3:30pm on Thursday.
Also stopped in Beech Creek Pa for wings with the gang and met up with a few TW guys in Iowa...

I've made the drive to Los Angeles/Anaheim more times that I can count on my hands from Livermore, Ca

 

800 miles in one go, thee gas stops, lots of slow, snow going, blackfoot idaho to home, day before was greatfalls> blackfoot, not very long, 385 miles.

 

When I was in my late teens I drove from Alexandria, VA to Kingwood, TX straight through in roughly 27 hours. The trip was around 1400 miles....

 

.
Drove from Atlanta to Central Quebec without stopping (except for gas, food & bathroom).

Did this one time per year for about 5 years in a row ... it's about 1,400 miles in about 28 hours (in my late 20s and early 30s).

Stopped doing this after I hit a patch of black ice on an interstate bridge at about 0200 hours in the morning (RWD Impala with cruise control on) and did a 360 without hitting anything. Scared the chit out of me and never did long drives without sleep again. That RWD Impala was like driving a bowl of Jello on a stick during an emergency maneuver.

On long trips now (anything over 300 miles) my average is 50 MPH (with all misc. stops included). And now, my max per day is 500 miles and/or 10 hours max on the road ... my favorite road trips now are about 300 miles per day.

Well broke my driving record today. It was close to 100 miles one way. And 100 home. Had my girlfriend with me. Tiring, but good day.

 

Longest was about 2k miles. Moving from Nashville, TN to Los Angeles, CA in 2 and a half days. Then drove it back again four years later while towing a uhaul trailer. Both times was in a 99 Pathfinder.

Other long trips are Nashville to/from the north woods of Wisconsin (approx 800 miles) in one shot and Nashville to Washington DC in one day (approx 650 miles). These trips are either in the Tacoma or my gf's Element.

 

Recently took a 2 week long road trip from Northern Illinois to the Canadian rockies (Banff- Jasper) ...drove 5429 total miles in my Taco with my wife and 2 golden retrievers...

 

Approx 800 miles. Cols, Ohio to Destin, Fl. Drove @ night. Mistake. Wife and I drove

Doing Cols, Ohio to Tremont, PA next week for a RC meet. 400 or so. Going solo.

 

Charleston, SC to Times Square in a Chevy Tahoe with 7 people including myself and all of our crap, everyone packed for 4 day's, took us 14 hours to get there.
Edit: And because I had been the DD the night before I got to drive home since I was sober and everyone else was still half drunk from the night before my revenge was not stopping until we needed gas. It didn't bother me a bit but none of them talked to me for a solid month after that ride home.

 

^^^^ My truck, my rules

 

driving from Tucson to Chicago, in a 99 camry v6. Tucson to somewhere in Missouri one shot (seen the budweiser brewery, brought tears to my eyes). Then up to Chicago after a few hrs rest.

 

Exactly and and revenge is sweet.

You didn't stop? AB gives tours of their breweries during business hours.

Did just about same trip, Austin to Pittsburgh, non stop, beside food n gas, in a 86' Ford Ranger, 4cyl 5speed, springs in the bench seat were coming through the vinyl in some spots and drivers seat was sunk in slightly. That ride was uncomfortable to say the least.

 

Wyoming to Ohio 1520 miles in 24 hours solo. Only stopped for fuel and to piss.

 

a couple years ago we took a west coast trip from Houston texas, in my wifes honda odyssey. what a cool trip.went from Houston to San Antonio shopping there and spent a night then to Las cruces NM spent a night there. to phoenix arizona to visit relatives. from there to San Diego CA (san diego zoo, Lego Land) from there went to Disney Land. then went to Los Angeles (sight seen) from there went to Las vegas then back to Houston. dont know how many miles that was but it was a cool trip. will definetely do it again. (maybe if gas prices are reasonable) like to do it more often but gas prices forces us to have staycations.

 

1300 miles in the taco when I bought it, Breckenridge to Cincinnati
I forced myself to stop in Effingham, IL and sleep for 2hrs but the total time was 24hrs and 15 mins

And every year I go from Cincinnati to Sebring, FL so just under 1k miles, first time was in my 92 mr2 with the ttops out and I drank a half gallon of redbull on the way down. I got there and immediately passed out.

 

I used to make the Fort Worth to Dayton, OH run (right around 1,000 miles) quite often and have done it non-stop on everything from a 1962 Dodge Town Wagon, to a BMW 83 R80ST...probably 5 times just on a unfaired, twin cylinder two wheeler.

My Iron Butt Association Butt Burner ride was 1,300 miles in 21 hours from Lynchburg, VA to Ft. Worth, Texas on a naked R1150R Rockster.
