How Far Have You Driven?
 

For me, it would have to be from San Francisco (Where I am located), to Las Vegas. This was last year around this time (well it was march) with a cousin. The total trip was 1210 Total Miles, it was like 595 one way, then coming back. The rest was in Vegas just crussing. (I need to go out in more outings)

I am planning a cross country trip next year from San Francisco to New York w/ the girlfriend. My car is getting a new tranny and a new clutch system installed. I figured my 09 370Z @ 75k miles will never be in better shape again.

I plan a shot from San Francisco to LA, to Vegas, through Utah, Denver, Iowa, Chicago, Cleveland and then New York. Total 3197 Mile One Way Trip (source: google maps). One way might be fun, coming back will probably be a pain lol


How about Ya'll?

Post Total Miles, so we can compare. If you decide to participate.

I've driven from jersey to Z1 motorsports in GA last year...about 1100 miles each way...not bad at all, I would probably be doing it again this year lol

My goal is similar to your but go from NJ to Cali lol

I've driven form LA to SF and back, also to Vegas and back

Charlotte NC to visit a friend in hospital in St Louis MO second week I had the car. Also gone from Charlotte to Columbus OH twice. She's been reliable even with tracking.

Pine grove, Pa to Daytona Beach, FL for Spring break nationals stereo competition......17 1/2 hrs, drove straight through on the way back.
Also to The Dragon, Deals gap, NC.

Hmmm Olney MD, to Keyser WV and back. About 300 miles round trip. Didn't even use a whole tank of gas.

However, next year (2016) I plan to go from Olney, MD to Sun Lakes State Park, WA and back. About 5200 miles round trip. Going fishing with my brother for opening season lowland lakes.

I've driven around the island of Oahu, about 115 miles :icon17:

My car has never left LA:eek:

Denver to Charlotte
Denver to Cleveland
Minneapolis to New Orleans
Minneapolis to Dallas

El Paso to Maryland and back 2 times and one time just Texas to Maryland. 2,500 miles no issues just a very long trip.

2983 both ways in my 350 from Washington state to SC and just over 700 both ways in my 370 from Ohio to SC

2,560 miles, San Diego, CA to Bolivia, NC, March 12 - 15, 2013, 2012 370Z.
A great trip, I highly recommend a cross country trip in your Z if you can find the time.

Tampa Florida to Robinsville North Carolina 3 times.
Vacation on Lake Santeetlah; house is behind that bridge in the cove, like 630miles one way.

I've driven from Lemoore, CA to Pensacola, FL back to Memphis, TN. For the most part it was a comfortable ride. Was definitely fun driving through El Paso bc I pushed her to about 110-115!!!

Many moons ago I did DC to Houston and back, which was about 3800 miles round trip.

Fort Wayne Indiana to the Coast of NC, 936 Mi one way, no issues with over heating, oil temps, handled the curves of the mountains in NC like a champ! loved that drive

Not a Z owner yet, but still want to contribute to this thread.

3400km around germany and area in the course of 2 weeks. This was doen in a rented bmw 118i. Aside from stopping at cities, some notable hilights:
-stelvio pass
-ss44 in tyrol, italy
-austrian mountain roads from swiss border to imst.

Would highly recommend such a trip.

4200km. going out to vancouver bc from barrie on. All in Canada, so greater distance. 1 way. done in 4 1/2 days.

I think most of these posts detail some drive to my home state of NC - what do you guys find so awesome about us? haha (I love my state).

Also let you in on a secret - if you think the Tail of the Dragon is cool, check out the Rattler HWY 209. It's longer, has more turns, much less traffic, and a much higher (impossible to achieve) speed limit than the TOD.

When I bought mine in December I flew to Orlando and drove it 3 days straight home to utah. No problems and a great trip!

I've driven the whole I-5 from Blaine, WA. all the way to Chula Vista, CA back and forth.= in a span of 3 weeks. But it was on my first Z, a 90 300ZX.. back in the nineties with Stevie B and Johnny O playing in the good old cassette deck. I was too cheap to upgrade to a CD player..lol

My longest trip was about 4400 miles.
Left Calgary, AB, drove to the west coast, all the way down the coast hwy, (1/101) to San Fran, and on to San Diego, across to Vegas, but I had to hit some of route 66, so we went through Blyth and Needles, CA. then back up to Calgary. Vegas to Calgary non stop I've done a few times, about 18 hours. 1300 miles just that leg.

Just rolled 212500 miles today!

New Britain Ct to Savannah Georgia. I wanted to end up in Daytona for spring break but I started swerving after 19 hours and only 4 hours of sleep the night before so I pulled over for the night. 19 hours included breakfast, lunch, dinner and over an hour at South of the Border. over 900 miles total.

In the first month of ownership I traveled from Dallas, TX to Los angeles, CA. I would never do it again, going there was fine, coming back was hell. I sped by a cop (i think he was off duty cause he didn't bother coming after me) didn't care I just wanted to come home and sleep lol

For the Z or the truck?

Austin to Palo Duro Canyon State Park and back in a day ~900 miles.

Austin to Balmorhea State Park and back in a day ~850 miles.

Lots of 500+ mile day trips. The Z has never left Texas, although she has seen Mexico across the Rio Grande, Louisiana across Caddo Lake, and Oklahoma across Lake Texoma :driving:

The Z, I'm sure! :tup:

Austin to Indianapolis and back, stopped once for a 30min nap on the way back somewhere in AK.....all for some white castle. smh.

wow, not alaska...Arkansas whoops.

All round trips
Colorado Springs CO to Edison NJ
Edison NJ to Pooler GA
Edison NJ to Deals Gap aka Tail of the Dragon
Edison NJ to Jacksonville FL

The Z is at 212500 miles '09
The Frontier is at 209xxx miles '07
And my 90 ST is only at 160xxx miles, I've had it about 6 years, but only put on maybe 5000 miles total, with the BB in it maybe 1000 miles. '90

The Frontier has been on some long trips also, Calgary to Vegas...Calgary to Colorado, which i'm doing again in 2 weeks, Calgary to Moab...

Yep...close thread. Lol

New York to Orlando and back

The furthest I've driven is from San Diego to Willow Springs and back. Also have done some SD to LA drives (five times I believe). So not very far.
Now that I live in Raleigh North Carolina, I'm looking forward to going to ZDayz at the NC/Tennessee border. That will be my new longest drive.

Westchester, NY to Boston a handful of times. About 350 miles round trip :p

For the One Lap of America this May, I will be driving about 3400 miles in 7 days...

I drove from Melbourne to Adelaide and back in a weekend (Friday morning to Sat night) for Round 1 of the SA State Sports Car Championships, 1620km round trip.

I regularly travel Melbourne/Goulburn and back for race events.

These are in my Ute towing a trailer/race car.

We also travel Melbourne to Mildura to see my (elderly) father which is 1100km round trip (in SWMBO Murano usually).

Have also done Melbourne-Perth (3400km one-way) and Melbourne-Darwin (3750 one-way) a couple of times ... just because I could !!

Travel distances in Australia are large .... as these maps show ..

For myself it was driving from El Paso TX to Atlanta then to Savannah. Stayed a week, then without stopped cept for food, bathroom drove back to El Paso. Thats a 1600 mile one way trip.

My Z is a 2015 so it was my first long road trip and I have to say the Z is a great highway car. Effortless acceleration, everyone looks at it (and wishes they were driving it), really comfortable seats, and just plain fun...especially in Texas...we have very high speed limits and virtually no cops along the desert areas. I drove at a sustained 100 once I left Fort Worth city limits.

Aseth, El Paso ftw! haha!! Not really it's a lame city with crappy roads. I haven't taken any trips yet but I'd like to go up to Cloudcroft and cruise the mountain trails.
