How Far Have You Driven?

shfeddy · 04-07-2015, 09:15 PM

Fort Wayne Indiana to the Coast of NC, 936 Mi one way, no issues with over heating, oil temps, handled the curves of the mountains in NC like a champ! loved that drive

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.

When I bought mine in December I flew to Orlando and drove it 3 days straight home to utah. No problems and a great trip!

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

90 ST · 04-08-2015, 01:04 AM

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

The Z is at 212500 miles '09
The Frontier is at 209xxx miles '07
And my 90 ST is only at 160xxx miles, I've had it about 6 years, but only put on maybe 5000 miles total, with the BB in it maybe 1000 miles. '90

The Frontier has been on some long trips also, Calgary to Vegas...Calgary to Colorado, which i'm doing again in 2 weeks, Calgary to Moab...
