OP

Do your legs get tired after X number of hours? After 2.5 hours I move slower when I first get out, but I am old.

2.5 is pretty good. I start getting "Jimmy-Legs" after about an hour and a half.

Ha. No, it's not. It's what we call it when your legs get jumpy and need to stretch.

The Z is a surprisingly comfy long hauler. I'm 6'2" and the car is great on the old body. Way more than my old GTI.

Heh in a 1 week period I did 3000+ miles on my Z. 2800 of them were done on two single days of driving (~1500 miles in a 24 hour period on both days).

Ouch. I went 600 in 9 hours on a trip to Ohio at the end of March. Stopped for gas once for a few minutes and that was the only break. When I got out in the hotel parking lot I almost fell because my head felt odd (lightheaded odd) and disoriented. Wasn't used to the suspension yet. lol

I can do about 3 - 4 straight through and then I have to stop. Unless there is no Starbucks around. No Starbucks = No stoppy.
