That's according to google maps. I drove from Vegas to a San Deigo meet (Saw members Calvin and Mike@Riverside), off to West Covina Nissan to get some stuff (saw Justin@WestCovina, I don't think Jenny was there anymore), back to Del Mar to visit friends, then homeward bound. I think I left Vegas at 1AM and returned home around 10PM.

If I remember correctly... Thursday night, I was out partying until 6AM, went to work at 7AM, went home around 6PM, hung out until 1AM Saturday then went to Socal.

It was Top Down on the way back. It was wet in the morning.

I think I had a trip longer than that once, but I was just roaming SoCal up and down PCH.

Bought the car in Mar 07 with 12K. Now it has 48K. Boosted for 33K.

905 from Oklahoma City to Bardstown, KY. Rained every freakin inch. Enjoyed every second of it. First day I had the car. What a ride. Fell in love with it on that trip. Did 750 the next day from Bardstown to Yardley. Rained very freaking cm that day.

1500 miles - Fort Lauderdale to North Georgia and back - 85 degrees to 32 degrees. Had to put air in the tires on the way up and take air out on the way back.

Worst part was "off-roading" on a Georgia mountain - not fun in a Z!

1250 miles straight - EACH WAY - from San Jose, CA to Great Falls, MT. The ZR hit 154mph on the open roads through Idaho early in the morning. 130mph came relatively quickly, but it took a LOT of road for those last 24mph.

Actually, mostly coupes, not many ZR's. Also, there are many modded Z's here. Did you just move to AZ? What part? Link to your Z info/pics?
