Default Longest driving streak W/O problems?

Let's see who's the luckiest!!!

Post up how many miles you've been able to consecutively drive in your FI f-body or corvette without an engine problem... Doesn't have to be current... But post your streak!!!

If it's something minor, post what it was... and we'll be the judges

Who's the luckiest?

I got about 10k once i changed teh fuel system to a system worth having till the day i tok it apart. Made over 600 on pump and had ALOT of fun. I really wanted to see what i could make on teh stock shortblock before i took the car apart but never got the chance. GL man

38,000+

Everything is stock, except fuel pump and clutch - no problems with the stock motor - even when my fuel pressure was dropping in the 40's and i did not know it.

daily driver - mostly highway, but not easy on the car by far.
