        Went from Calgary AB as far east as Virginia Beach and home again through Raleigh NC. If you want to read more about our trip check out our blog; www.econoboxcafe.com. There's a link to day one of the trip on the blog's home page.

          No longer than an hour. It's a bit exhausting road tripping mine, no interior makes it really loud, and no cruise
          Buck.
          -1993 Ford Festiva GL, ~200k, B6, Aspire rear, Rio front, 5-speed. '87 Prelude alloys. Happy to be back on the route!!!
          -1999 Toyota Sienna XLE, 346,000
          -1996 Chevrolet K1500 Z71, 350 V8, 198k, hauler

            In the festiva my longest road trip was 3461 miles. Hardly worth mentioning compared to Ian's voyage. However, I have counted up 3 other trips over 2000 miles each and 1 more almost that much. So my five longest trips total 13,475 miles. That's 2 trips to Canada, 2 trips to Nashville, and 1 giant figure 8 trip through Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Nebraska, and back home to Wyoming.

                My longest trip so far was the day I bought the car!
                Trip totaled over 4,000 miles from California to Indiana.

                    85-90 miles to and from pendelton sc (from travelers rest)


                    but how about 200 miles delivering pizzas on a good friday night (all inside the city limits mostly)

                    that ought to be worth 2000 miles on the highway, lol

                              Just over 5000 miles when I went to FMV, that includes the driving around that I did and getting lost twice. The trip took 8 and a half days total ( including the 2 days at FMV) and was done completely alone in a gutted festiva with no radio! I'd do it again in a heartbeat!
                              Driving for me is neither a right nor a privilege. Driving is my passion, as it was for the people who invented the automobile, the people who paved the first roads and the people who continue to improve the automobile. Please respect this passion.
