Just got done driving 1000miles in 14 and a half hours. Drove from Arkansas back here to Florida was a fun trip.Had 3 hours of sleep before I started the drive. Drove it up there 3 weeks ago and drove it back today got 164k on it and still running strong. Only problem I had today was semi-drivers not seeing me.Traffic was no problem until i hit I-75, and even then it wasn't that bad. Anyone else been putting lots of miles on their car?

Cincy to South GA and back Friday/Sunday (1350 miles total). Didn't make the time you did (10 down, 9 back), but it was a good ride.

No cross country road trips but I've been commuting home (Philadelphia) from Lewisburg about once every week or two since May and that's racked up a good deal of miles.

I put 100miles on my car a day here when I have work. 32miles each way and usually have errands to run.usually cruise the beach before work so thats an extra 10-15miles right there. Running strong and plan to keep it that way. Once my other gets turbocharged goign to hold off major upgrades probably on it and have this engine rebuilt and beefed up some but keep NA or if i get a good deal maybe run like 4lbs of boost. nothing major.Plan to run at least 15 in my other one.So engine will probably go quick which is why going tohave this one rebuilt. Doesn't need it though. 164k and not smoking. unlike my friends with only 70k on their hondas.

I put 1000 on it in less than a month.

Lots of driving for me. I have had my car almost 3 years and only put close to 17k on it.

We used to call it SoWeGA.

Albany, went to High School there YEARS ago. YEARS before that I lived in Valdosta when I was in like 3rd grade.

I only go about once a year, maybe twice. This was the first time I didn't stay a full week.
