Not a Z owner yet, but still want to contribute to this thread.
3400km around germany and area in the course of 2 weeks. This was doen in a rented bmw 118i. Aside from stopping at cities, some notable hilights: -stelvio pass -ss44 in tyrol, italy -austrian mountain roads from swiss border to imst. Would highly recommend such a trip. 4200km. going out to vancouver bc from barrie on. All in Canada, so greater distance. 1 way. done in 4 1/2 days. |

I think most of these posts detail some drive to my home state of NC - what do you guys find so awesome about us? haha (I love my state).
Also let you in on a secret - if you think the Tail of the Dragon is cool, check out the Rattler HWY 209. It's longer, has more turns, much less traffic, and a much higher (impossible to achieve) speed limit than the TOD.

I've driven the whole I-5 from Blaine, WA. all the way to Chula Vista, CA back and forth.= in a span of 3 weeks. But it was on my first Z, a 90 300ZX.. back in the nineties with Stevie B and Johnny O playing in the good old cassette deck. I was too cheap to upgrade to a CD player..lol

My longest trip was about 4400 miles.
Left Calgary, AB, drove to the west coast, all the way down the coast hwy, (1/101) to San Fran, and on to San Diego, across to Vegas, but I had to hit some of route 66, so we went through Blyth and Needles, CA. then back up to Calgary. Vegas to Calgary non stop I've done a few times, about 18 hours. 1300 miles just that leg. Just rolled 212500 miles today! |

New Britain Ct to Savannah Georgia. I wanted to end up in Daytona for spring break but I started swerving after 19 hours and only 4 hours of sleep the night before so I pulled over for the night. 19 hours included breakfast, lunch, dinner and over an hour at South of the Border. over 900 miles total.

In the first month of ownership I traveled from Dallas, TX to Los angeles, CA. I would never do it again, going there was fine, coming back was hell. I sped by a cop (i think he was off duty cause he didn't bother coming after me) didn't care I just wanted to come home and sleep lol

Austin to Palo Duro Canyon State Park and back in a day ~900 miles.
Austin to Balmorhea State Park and back in a day ~850 miles. Lots of 500+ mile day trips. The Z has never left Texas, although she has seen Mexico across the Rio Grande, Louisiana across Caddo Lake, and Oklahoma across Lake Texoma
