Well I night drove from central KS to Alamosa, CO... But I was either asleep or watching a movie in back of the van. :lol:

 

From central KS to Texas is the longest drive me only.

Flint Mi to Marathon Fl, in an old Chevy 3 ton dump truck with a 454 and manual trans wound up tight would do almost 60 MPH had to stop every 100 miles to fill it with oil and check the gas. Just over 1500 miles took 32 hours in that pig, no radio, no air and HOT outside the whole way

Somerset, WI to Denver, CO by way of Keystone, SD and back (through Nebraska) 2400 miles and 42 hours in 4 days. Some of it was pretty slow driving through Badlands NP and Rocky Mountain NP.

WOW! My longest solo trip was only 6.5 hours from Cushing Tx. to San Angelo Tx, but thats plenty far for me to travel alone.

 

You guys are tougher than i am.

Drove from fort mcmurray Alberta to Thunder Bay ontario many times. Roughly 3000kms, I drove for 24hrs straight once without stopping. Only for gas,food, coffee...

Atlanta Metro area to Fort Hunter Liggett, CA. The route I took was just over 2,4xx miles. Made the trip in about 3 to 3.5 days.

 

The longest I have drove without stopping (for more than bathroom/gas/food) was 1,000 miles. That sucks and I'll never do it again.

I've got a few, Apache Jct. AZ to Abilene TX 800 miles, visit a friend one day and turn around and go back to AZ. Also Apache Jct. to Dover, AR 1300 miles, have done that trip complete round trip 5 times, never stop for anything but gas and go's. Last year did Dover, AR to Jacksonville, FL bought my truck, spent then night with my daughter and then came back home a little over 1,000 miles each way. :jester:

Nice. This thread is getting more attention than I thought it would. I know I'm not the only one that droves a lot. I put over 20,000 miles on my truck per year. But I go to Utah once or twice a year and I have school one day a week in Fresno, CA. Driveway to parking lot is 124 miles. So that is 250 miles done every Wednesday. I drive my truck up there too.

 

I'll be buying an ex-rental Impala, a 3.6 or a 6.0 G8 next year for a daily driver when my truck is paid off. I do really like the direct injected 3.6 V6. This will alleviate the miles on my truck. I'm getting 12 MPG with the 6.0 in my truck. But its been all city driving. I'll get 18-21 on the highway like when I go to Utah.
