Farthest you have driven in your Triplet?

I have a cross country road trip coming up in Oct, what is the farthest you have driven yours? Longest period running that car at once?

Last 4 trips have been between 25-28 hours (2000 miles) of constant driving stopping only for gas, but was in my old tC. Wondering how well the FR-S will hold up to 28 hours straight.

About 400 miles to my parents' house in NEPA. I've made the trip twice so far in the 86. Not huge, but more than usual for me. It's very pleasant to drive on the highway.

Recently did a ~700 mile trip in mine. About the only complaint I have is the center console really needs to have some padding in the area where your knee rests. My knee was getting a bit sore after a while. I plan to pickup the JDM padding kit in the near future.

I don't really like driving long distances, even in a sports car... But heck, a sports car is more exciting to take than the minivan that I've tried, lol!

Anyway, since we're talking about long distance trips... I've planned a trip next month to MSR Houston (HPDE) from where I'm located... And Mapquest shows it to be a solid 5 hours going, and then another 5 coming back (about 600 miles roundtrip)... Thankfully, my wife and two small kids will tag along in the FR-S to extend the journey (we'll see how that plays out, hehe!) Hell, if it's getting away from work, I'm all for it!
