Washed and waxed over the weekend. Stars were aligned this morning for the perfect pairing of a set of corners and traffic.

I don't even think I pissed anyone off.

Just got back home to the Chicago area after leaving it Sunday evening for a little spin on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Total drive timer on the Z read 24:03, [1]532 miles, in one sitting with no sleep.

Also ended up lost in the real backcountry woods of N. Carolina. Total quiet except for the rasp of my HFCs... and then I heard the sounds of a banjo drifting through the woods. Ran like hell.

Time to pass out, here's hoping I dont hear that **** in my dreams.

Go crash in your sleep.
In my 20's. Me and a few of my buddies used to see how far we could drive in 24hrs. Drive out 12hrs. Get a post card and mail it back. Then drive back home. I put a chit load of miles on my 1st TransAm.

My last long drive was last year in the motorhome. Drove from just east of Toledo Ohio to North Platte Ne. 1,011 miles in 16hrs. Had to be in Rawlins Wy. the next day for a wedding.

I've never do that again. Took me a day to recover.

I've done Fort Collins to Austin. About 990 miles in 14.5 hours. Stopped for gas twice and food once.

I've done Fort Davis and back in a day for work before. About 850 miles total; 6 hours each way. Spent 45 minutes there doing an inspection.

I tried to do Houston, TX to St Petersburg, FL in one sitting after my TT install... but I was falling asleep at the wheel by Tallahassee and stopped for the night.

You really stopped in Tally to visit all those fine looking FSU babes. But yeah, sleepy works too.

Not in this instance...but that has happened on more than one occasion during my college years.

Does anyone dare get out of their car in Tally? That place was sketchy AF back in the mid 90's.

Nothing has changed. =)

Checked the logs, these two jaunts to Louisiana' Gulf Shore and the Rockies were my longest single-"day" trips.

The time has been lowered. It's 28 hrs 50 minutes. Ed Bolian did it in 2013.

Yeah, for the Cannonball run. He had a spotter for cops and relief drivers.
