Quakecon! Sweet!

Sadly the longest trip my Z has ever made is like 20 miles... but it's still just a baby.

Sounds good! I hope to make it out there in less than 30 hours if I can. We shall see.

I think so far the longest road trip I have done in my Z is from Ontario, CA to chuckwalla valley raceway right on the border of California (200 miles I think?).

You long-distance people.... anybody with non-touring? I find these cloth seats make my legs tired very quickly. Maybe it's because I have long legs.
