I have done Kingman AZ to Portland Oregon solo a couple of times. It is only 22 hours.:tiphat:

I remember as a kid riding with my mom from Bartsow CA to Laurel Mississippi none stop. She would take a couple of couple of hour naps along the way. Between her and my dad I got my affliction for making long distant drives. I do at least one 14 to 16 hour solo trip a year. If I am traveling with the wife I don't like to do more than 10 hours at a time.

May drive it to work today but, still testing pedal commander on my Camry 2018 and may end up taking the Camry to work.

I did solo toronto to new jersey through flurries on summer tires. 8 hours. Then back... the hardest part is keeping the speed down.

Or keeping awake after grabbing a huge lunch at cracker barrel

When we do Pittsburgh to Denver. That's one stop for the night. Pittsburgh to Moab is two stops. Pittsburgh to Miami is one stop for the night. Used to drive that straight through. :driving:

Completed in the past two weeks:

- Installed new Michelin Pilot Sport 4S all around, stock sizes
- Installed new Aeroworkz CF lip (courtesy https://www.rejapan-r-knight.com great shipping and packaging) as last one's rivet install did not hold (new install uses what came with the kit and no problems including high speed, highway loads)
- Picked up V3 Motordyne ART pipes and sold my V1s to a guy on the Book of Faces who told me he's gonna try and get them to work on an FX50


Here are some night pics:

Love this thing, as I do not see too many Zs out with it. Gives a little pop in my opinion, without having to go full blown three-piece or Varis lip.

First time for me on Michelins, as I usually go with Bridgestones. However, my driving style did not go with the 20k life of the RE-760s that I was running. No mileage guarantee either.

I am looking forward to seeing how the PS4S hold up with a 30k guarantee and with Florida summer upon us.

Unless you're planning on converting to air cooled.

Took the 370Z instead of the new Camry to work and thank God I did. I stormed here for 30 mins w small hail. I rather let the 370Z get the damage over the new car. Will have to go out later and see if any hail damage. Now is back to sunny.

We are leaving on 7/8 and should be back around 7/26 or 7/27. Should be about 6 to 7,000 miles on the motorhome plus close to 1,000 miles on the Grand Cherokee. We're towing the Grand Cherokee. Be about $2,000 for fuel.
