Uhhhhh.... does moving count??? Drove from NYC to SF last May with my mother. 2.5 days with only one night of sleep (we did break to eat and pee  ). Oh yeah, I hardly ever went below 85mph, with the help of a V1 of course.

my hometown (Johnstown, PA) to Ocean City, MD - took about 5.5 hours, all in a dune buggy to find chicks - it was cold and windy that night at the shore so we turned around and came right back! i was the unfortunate ******* in the back seat of the dune buggy - got sunburnt to hell and back, and my voice was gone for 4 days aaahh - the memories....

Longest trip was just this may - Kingstown, RI. to Los Alamos, NM. We drove straight through the night. Started at 5:00PM eastern time, ended about 1:00 AM NM time (the next day) ...  Time, ~33hrs or so. Milage - 3K +/- a few. I marked that off in my book of "things I can only do when I'm young."

Longest in my tour: Oakland to Saline Valley (north of Death Valley) and back, around 1200 miles. Included some nasty dirt roads with big rocks scattered all over them. You can find some pretty good dents on my underside now.
Longest ever: Palo Alto to Chicago and back in a noisy old Dodge van driven by my parents when I was about ten.
Longest single day: Palo Alto to Santa Barbara in a little Toyota wagon, loaded my brother's stuff into the back and returned the same evening.
96 GL Zetec ATX, white with pinstripe, nickname " Sam Smooth " mods so far: CTA intake with homemade heat shield, KVR drilled front rotors & carbon pads w/ 500° fluid planned mods: exhaust (want to keep it quiet), e-ram (awaiting installation), diablo chip involuntary mods: compression increased after head gasket failure
