Longest Roadtrip - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Hmmm 10 hours, from South Bay down to the San Diego area. I drove the last 8 nonstop. Going down I5 put me in a trance like state, several hundred miles of completely straight road and nothing in sight, wind noise never stopped being annoying though. I don't want to think about how many hearing cells I will have left if I tried to make that trip in my car.

My parents said 20 some years ago they drove from Minnesota to DC in 1 go...managed to roll the car into a bank of snow too :P

Lancaster, PA to Santa Monica, CA. Just me and the open road.

Then I flew to Arizona, bought a car, and drove from Tucson, AZ to Savannah, GA.

Driving straight-through with limited breaks, no thanks! Slow it down and enjoy the scenery.

PS None of us come close to Emil & Liliana. 28 years, 415k miles, and still going! www.weltrekordreise.ch

I do! I've been to all 48 contiguious states, and Utah was one of the biggest surprises for me. I was expecting it to be rather dull and boring, but I was just blown away when we drove through Moab and surrounding areas. Can't wait to go back.

My longest trip was in 1975 when my wife and I moved from Detroit to San Diego. I drove one car towing our other car behind me. I don't remember how long it took. A few days later my wife flew out with our cat. Life is an adventure.

A few years ago I drove from San Marcos, TX to Green Bay, WI to see my Cowboys play the Packers at Lambeau. right at about 2800 mi round trip.

....we lost.

I've done Orlando to Chicago solo non-stop a couple of times. About 20-24 hours depending on when you leave and which route you take. I really hate stopping halfway through a trip (makes it feel like it takes weeks).

NY -> Utah (southern route) took us 2 weeks. i was...7, and we were helping my sister get her stuff out to the univeristy of utah. first time i read jurassic park, and we did the tourist thingy.

also: did CT -> NC in 9 hours. and refilled in MD, and made it all the way to charlotte on one tank of gas with enough left over to probably reach columbia

This summer (mid-May) I drove with my father from upstate NY to Los Angeles in roughly three days (didn't really keep track of the hours, though).

Background: I was transferring from my college in NY to a SoCal one (moving back closer to home), so after finishing spring semester I hauled my stuff back to CA and made a road-trip out of it.

I'm not really a very fun person to road-trip with though... I'm really too focused on efficiency and covering as much distance as possible. That means minimal bathroom breaks ._.

Joisey to Seattle

Drove from NJ to Jackson, WY one winter break in college to be a ski bum. I think it was 2500 miles each way.
