Well I've driven from Atlanta, GA to Columbia, SC. It's about 230 miles one way.
About Two months ago I drove to Columbia back to Atl then back to Columbia then back home in a four day span. So that's 920miles just with hwy miles then probably like another 200 driving around Columbia and Atl. It wasn't to bad. I the only thing that sucked was I-20. LOL

San Diego to Santa Rosa
We drove from SD up the 1 through Big Sur, Santa Cruz, SF, across the GG Bridge to Santa Rosa in one day. It was maybee 800 miles. No buttsore issues. We followed a Carrerra GT along the coast around Morro Bay, what a car!!! If you've ever heard one of those used in anger, you know what I'm sayin.
A week later we drove form Yosemite to SD down the 395. Fast.

I drove from Vancouver to Calgary (over 1000KM+) when I first got the car (Picked it up in Vancouver, so it was the first time driving the car). Drove for about 11 hours straight... Didnt seem that long haha

i try not to drive more than one hour at a time if at all possible. anytime that I go over 1 hour I tend to rack up on speeding tickets.
on the way back to fayetteville from ZDAYZ me and a couple of other z friends from this forum averaged about 85-90 mph through the mountains for about two hour. occasionally hitting speeds of about 110

I'm putting a bra on for my 1800 mile roundtrip to TX... Man, I just got the Z a few days ago and it's only got 200 miles on it... I got a black Z so I thinkt he bra will blend in pretty well. I wonder if Nissan has a Victoria Secret see-thru bra for our Z

Hum.... I kinda like the contrast of the amber lens.... I might go back that way... then again maybe not.

I actually now think I should have picked out a black car that day with orange interior ... I love that combo now..... I just thought of the dust on the black car I had before... Hey, I can always repaint right?

I took it to mexico city over summer and around mexico acapulco and other cities put about 6000+ miles on it but it was worth it. I got pulled over twice and the cops were more interested in the car than giving me a ticket, didnt get one. mexico has great highways topped out at 161 on a slightly downhill highway

Damn you guys take some long distance trips - longest i've been on is like < 200 miles. KC -> St. Louis. Though you guys are posting up low gas mileage, i think i was getting at least 29+, luckily i never had to change lanes much because everyone was driving fast and for about an hour and a half i was driving behind a semi going about 80mph - so i guess i got lucky.
