I'm 6'-1" with fairly long and sexy legs, and I don't find the cloth to be terribly uncomfortable unless I haven't shaved them recently

The most interesting routes are ones that avoid Interstate. :tup: That being said, I-20 is probably best for your trip.

Cruise control is definitely boring, but an absolute necessity for road trips in TX. Luckily, I can't go more than about 4 straight hours of driving before having to fill up with gas, so I get to stretch my legs at least that often.

I've done 700 miles in the Z all within Texas on the same day. :driving:

From Milan to Nurburgring :driving:, about 2.000 km

the Car is very confortable :tup:

3000 miles

I *really* hope my Z doesn't end up looking like that. Man you had to post a pic of yours that was a MB 370z like mine didn't you! Bastage!

Making me imagine it now... ewwwww.

... and we do have our own - the Z, from the 240 to the 370, it has always been a different kinda sports car. You can have your Mustangs, Camaros, Corvettes, and so on, but there is something different to owning a Z. I've had two so far, a 300ZX Twin Turbo, and my current 370. My girlfriend enjoyed riding in my 300ZX better than any other car, especially on long trips. She said the seats were very comfortable. We find the 370 the same as well. New Orleans to Houston and back about 6 hours each way almost non-stop except for potty breaks and lunch when we got hungry, but we did NOT have to stop to "stretch our legs" because we were cramped. Other looong trips: New Orleans to Etowah, TN to run the Cherahola, The Dragon and the Devil's Triangle the next day, then on to Nashville, then tour Nashville, attend ZATTACK2012, then Drive back to New Orleans, and no "car fatigue" was experienced by either us or another couple in their 370.

Marvelous car - and we Each have our Own Z to appreciate. Thanks Datsun/Nissan, Thanks Mr Katayama :tiphat:

Well said, PaulZ370!

Have owned 66 and 1984 Mustangs, the latter an SVO--fine little road and track car. Had 59 heavy-mod Vette, 450hp, and a 427 68 , and a 1984. The Z is a much better auto all around, with the advantage of decades of engineering development.

Spray front with Rain-X bug and tar protectant before heading into bug country and it will wash right off.

To ZdayZ from VA.

I live near Orlando Florida, but I found my Z in Rochester, NY. I flew up to get it and drive it back down, I think it was 2100 miles. Not a fun trip to do by yourself, but it gave me time to get acquainted with my name baby!


Sent from my iPizzle using magic and new-fangled science stuff

12,000 coast to coast then a bunch more making stops detour and just plain taking the long way everywhere

My longest was from Seneca Il to Branson MO for BransonZFest last year. Which is 1000miles round trip, then add all of the fantastic driving roads during the week that we toured around on for hours I would say almost 2k total then.

Longest trip in my 370z was from Fresno Ca to Killeen Tx (1600miles). Longest trip in my 350z was from Tacoma Wa to El Paso Tx (1700miles).

Charlotte NC -> Raleigh NC -> St Louis Mo. about 1,400. Base with cloth seats. Very comfortable. Hit some terrible thunderstorms coming through the Appalachians and the car held the road fine. I saw many other wrecks.

All loaded up and ready to go on my trip to Texas. I originally thought I might have room for a passenger... NOT.

I will take off just after i get some sleep. Hope to be there tomorrow in the late night.

:icon18:Always taking the long way!

:wtf2:

Well I made it to Dallas and now I am on my way back to California.

I made pretty good time. I left at 7 PM in California and Arrived at 7 PM in Texas. It was 22 hours (due to the 2 hour time difference). I drove strait there minus bathroom/food breaks and one 1.5 hour nap. It was 19 hours of driving.

I am now in Amarillo, TX and heading to Albequerque.

Is that an entire case of windshield washer fluid on the floor?

Chicago to Vegas,bstopping for just food and gas...then to Phoenix, then back to Chicago, in 4 days! Stopped only once by Texas highway patrol, 112 in a 70. Oops......

LMAO, I just went from Dallas, to LA, it was GREAT!

Damn, man.....I think Junkman had a stroke just LOOKING at that picture. :icon17:

I drove mine 900 miles home the day I bought it. St. Louis to Houston. It took me 200 miles to get the seat just right, but it was perfectly fine after that. The only unpleasant part was not using cruise control since it was brand new.

i took mine 340 miles from Coronado island, San Diego to Tempe AZ both ways for more then 680 miles

Bremerton, WA to San Diego, CA 1340 miles each way

I drove from Chicago to Phoenix in two days. 1753 miles each way. Did the round trip in 4 days. Felt like I was "putting the car on" instead of getting in it at gas stations and rest areas. Loved the trip tho. On the way home, hit Vegas first, so the return trip added about 300 miles. Caught a wierd snow in New Mexico. They threw gravel down for traction. Needed a new windshield when I got home.

The Z is surprisingly comfortable for long road trips. I have actually driven much more 'road friendly' cars which are not nearly as comfortable. I think I just like bucket-ish seats.

I would have to agree with you 100%

Sent while driving.....

the longest drive for my Z was from the dealership back home which was like 40 miles

Get out there and drive her like she was mean't to be driven....

Sent while driving.....

Over 800 miles when I picked it up in Kansas and drove home to Cleveland.

Since my last post in here I have done an 800 mile trip (Austin to Balmorhea State Park and back) and a 900 mile trip (Austin to Palo Duro Canyon State Park and back) in one day. Very comfortable :driving:

That's funny Chuck, we must've done the same thing. I flew to Mississippi, bought the car (used) and then drove home to Indy. Mine was only 500 mi or so to drive home (and was uncomfortable for me for the last 100 miles).

As long as you didn't buy it from the same scumbag dealer I did, :tup:

The last two or three hours was rough. Luckily I had a few people who would call me every so often and make me check in.

~400mi, the day I bought it (in Vegas) and drove it home (to Phoenix).

Flew into Vegas and was out (with a test drive) in maybe an hour and a half. Was probably less. :tup:

New York to Florida in my girlfriends 370z. Great road trip

bought my car in Louisiana. flew in, handed the guy a check, drove straight home back to pittsburgh. around 1300 miles and the car only had 1800 on it at the time lol

multiple 500 mile trips and a couple 1000 miles trips as well over the years.

the car is amazing at long trips especially for a sports car.

Colorado to Vegas..Vegas to San Diego....then to LA...back to San Diego, vegas and back to denver. Total 3400 miles...fantastic trip and going to do it again soon!

From the dealer to my house. About 50 miles. LOL

house to woods back to house. 60 miles? lol

From NY to FL it was 2 1/2 tanks of gas, not bad at all with a cruising speed of around 70-80mph
