I'm actually planning a two week road trip in my FR-S one week after I get it, which should be next week. So I'm going to say yes, crazy, but the good kind of crazy.

No, that sounds like a lot of fun.

Maybe this is the first trip "out of town" in their car. Before hitting the road, check your fluids and tire pressure (including the spare!). Safe travels!

Did a 9 hour drive a week after getting our FR-S: just make sure the fluids/tire pressure are good, and vary your revs if you're in the break-in period. Depending in where you are going, it might be worthwhile to tape up or temp 3M paint protect the front bumper and hood to protect against stone chips, etc. Washing and waxing is a really good idea, too.
