The furthest you've driven

[mjoekingz28]

How far have you gone without going to sleep?

I went:

600 miles in a car in 10 hours
750 miles in a semi in 14 hours
600 miles on a bike in 8 hours

U?

800 miles from South FL to North Carolina took about 14 hours only stopping for gas

When I was driving truck coast to coast I learned to sleep and drive at the same time.

16 hours... Nj to chi town and back.. In 02 ford escort soch 2.0. Stopd only for gas. What a trip ! I miss that car !

Tucson, AZ to Orlando, FL. 24 hours non stop. 2400 something miles.

 

[SaturnIonVue]

Ft. Worth, TX to LA, CA non-stop except for gas about 24 hours driving time. Staying awake wasn't much of a problem then since the fine folks in the army kept me up sometimes for two to three days at a time. No. No stimulates either, except for coffee.

Very nice, i cant say the same tho.. I took two 6 hour energy shots at one time to make the last 4 hours back home to jersey..

In 1966 there was a nation wide airline strike and my wife and I drove from Bath, Me to Granite City, Il. in one run 1400 miles. Have driven 900 miles to Gainesville, Fl. at least 10 times in one run.

500 miles almost on the nose, from Amherst OH to Ballston Spa NY. Took about 7 1/2 hours.

I do that often, its called sleep apnea.

Toss up between Chicago and Kansas City and Chicago and Huntington, WV. Both trips ran me 10-11 hours. I drove all the way (no co-driver).

 

[JHZR2]

Non-stop from roughly Philadelphia to Orlando multiple times.

Not fun, why stress the body so much?

I think it was probably upstate NY to Ft. Myers, FL, around 1500 miles in under 24 hours straight. Done a bunch of runs like that from Florida north, or the north back to Florida in around 24 hours. It is more pleasant to limit a day to around 600-750 miles. Since I've done a lot of offshore sailing I know I'm pretty good with no sleep for up to three days (72 hours) straight if I need to, but having a few catnaps every once in awhile is a much better way to go.

Hey sparkplug, you averaged 100 mph!?

 

[MCompact]

Ft.Worth TX to Louisville Ky- 860 miles in @11 hours. Only exceeded 125 mph once.

 

[Chris Meutsch]

Panama City to Cincinnati. The currently owned Civic did that trip. Now it only has 203k+ on it.

[CROWNVIC4LIFE]

Non stop from Miami to NYC [24 hours] multiple times...All alone each time.

 

[94MaxGXE]

Detroit to Destin Florida, about 1100 miles, 18 hours, one way, just me driving, non stop, round trip over a few days,, three times in one summer.

 

[wander2039]

Springfield, MO to Austin, TX after working 8 hours... 10 or 12 hours driving can't remember which. 69 through Oklahoma at night isn't for the tired.
