About 740 miles round trip was the longest one for me.

I drive 110 miles a day now. Been doing that since September and the miles are wracking up quick. At 151k right now.

I bought the car in South Carolina and drove it about 350 miles back to Virginia. Super comfortable car to go for a long cruise in. Hopefully one day I can take a trip across the country in this car.

Update:
I drove to Warsaw Poland from Schweinfurt Germany last week. It ended up being a 563 mileish trip. Car ran great. Recommendation: Don't drive through Poland - their roads are horrible. Got a lot of looks though. Something cool about driving a loud Fbody through East Europe, not many people there have seen one. And cruising through towns with the T-tops off and the windows down, .
I wanted to come back through Prague, but I didn't leave Warsaw until the afternoon. Damn Polish Vodka kicked my butt the night before.

longest trip in my car when I was DD has only been roughly 500 miles. I like to rent cars when traveling long distances to keep wear and tear maint off my car.

My Brother and I took my Firebird on a 5000 mile road trip to Las Vegas (from Iowa) and then on to Los Angeles the first Summer I had it.

That was one of the main reasons I bought the car. I wanted to blast out west in a muscle car with no set destination and see where the road would take me.

It was tons of fun and I highly recommend that everyone should do it at least once in their life.

Longest one was in my 94 LT1 Formula: Wichita KS to Traverse City, MI to Latrobe PA (1.5 hrs. east of Pittsburgh),back to Wichita (20 hr. straight shot). I've done CA to KS and vice versa in the 94 and a 02 WS6. Several trips Wichita to DFW in my 00 Formula.

3 Power Tours in the SS, including a Long Haul this year starting at home to Newton IA all the way down to Mobile and then back to Kansas City...right around 2600 miles. Everything went smooth but I did quickly realize how much more comfortable my truck is than the 'camaro when I got home.

CA to PA, then a few weeks later PA to FL. The FL-PA-FL trip usually gets made at least once a year, but I'm flying up this summer.
