1,100 miles one way. Bought the car in Orlando and drove it to Ann Arbor, Michigan. Today, I leave for ZDayZ in North Carolina. By the end of the trip, I will probably add another 1,700. I will have the top down most of the time so I will be burnt to a crisp.

I actually I fly more than I drive.... airport is 1.5 miles from the house in Mobile. I hated the fact that I had to fly out of Pensacola or Gulfport, but since I bought the car, the fares were better in Mobile... go figure. Yeah one day we'll drive down to Palm Beach and hook with my parents and my inlaws, but don't know if we will take the ZR, cuz no place to put any luggage with teh exception of my golf clubs I would love to rent a manual ZR, but none here in Mobile to rent

1540 Miles from around 7:00PM on Friday to 1200AM on Saturday. This is when I bought the car. Flew to Orlando FL where the car was waiting in a covered lot. Drove it home to Garden City, KS. Was a great trip aside from going through hurrican, rain, and snow lol. Handled awesome though. Over a year later and I have only put on about 7K miles. I need to drive it more lol.

I applaud those of you who can drive more than 400 miles in a single day in a ZR!

Based on this thread doesn't look I'll be driving much with the top down. If anybody has a cheaper solution than taking to the dealership, feel free to let me know.

There are only 3 countries in the world that don't use the metric system: USA, Liberia and I can't remember the name of the other tiny country.

I've gone from San Jose to Whale's Vagina in my ZR.

220 Miles in a day. Houston > Austin > Lake Travis > New Braunfels

I-10 & 71 have some terrible stretches of road.

After I put new tires on the Z, I plan on taking my girlfriend on a road to the east coast.

For the next two weeks im commuting about 425 miles a day. Work has been rough, my company helicopter has been down and wont be out of the shop. I have been driving 200 miles in the morning and 200 miles home. If I wasnt needed at both sites, I would wouldnt be driving this crazy.

I have to navigate between different company sites on certain projects I do. I actually work not to far from Warren, NJ and you know how hard it is to get around NJ so a helicopter is just easier.

Nice. For what its worth, our best family friend and practically my uncle, owns Liberty Helicopter in NYC and Stars and Stripes Air Tours in Las Vegas. Last i heard, he was also building a 10 million dollar heliplex in Neward to be used by State Police, Newark Police and others. He travels by helicopter often too. Helicopters are awesome, but wicked expensive all aorund. Apparently for every hour they spend flying, they need almost the same amound of time in the shop to be maintained and properly tuned.

Where near Warren do you work?
