the your´s longest trip...
 
Well..i would like to know what´s the longest trip u did while driving, in one day, or two, without stoping to sleep, just to refuel your car.

How many kilometers(or miles) was it and how many hours it lasted.And, if u wanna tell us, how it was..heheh :D



Well mine longest trip was to a city here in São Paulo State, Brazil, called Caldas Novas. I live here in São Paulo city and going to there will take about 920-1000 km...if it´s not more, because i didn´t calculated it exactly.

But it´s in this house, and i took it in just 9 hours and some minutes...just stoping to refuel, off course, it was on my dad´s car, and my parents were sleeping on the trip for some moments. It was cool, the roads i took were so nice so i could get 120-130 km/h of average speed(remember, my parents were on the car, and the limit is 120 km/h, so i couldn´t got that fast, or i would be throwed out of the car by my dad)
and i just refueled once.

It was a boring trip because i coud not got so fast so i was listening to music to relax. But anyway it was cool, and, in the end of the trip i wasn´t tired, i guess i could drive for more 5 hours or more. But my parent´s were, so...we stoped to sleep. :D

The longest trip in the car ive done without stopping is from Seattle to Los Angeles. I wasnt the only one driving but I did drive for about 8-9 hours straight and the whole trip took about 19-20 hours of solid driving. We only stopped for gas and food.

cool

i would like to make a 24 hour trip around São Paulo State...off course, when i get my drivers license to be allowed....here we have so many good roads that u can put in them 300-km/h or more...so when i get my car i´ll make one this way...driving 24 hours without stoping..hehe it must be cool, but so tiresome!!

off course, i´ll make some trips with less hours on the driving of the car to get used and don´t stay tired, before this long trip...but it would be nice..hehe :D

Longest consecutive trip for me is Atlanta to Chicago. About 12-13 hours, 750 miles. I actually fell asleep at the wheel at one point and found myself in the other lane drifting. Luckily, no one was around me. I quickly got off the interstate and took a nap.

ups, weeeell, my longest trip and seems to be a puny one compared to all yours, was from my city Mexico (the capital) to Guadalajara city.
600-700 kms, don't remember the exact quantity
Only stopped for fuel, a coke and waking up after driving 6 hours

9 hours. From New York City to Syracuse, NY. Normally it takes about 4 hours but I took the wrong exit and ended up in mid-section of Pennsylvania. I drove through some freaky town that has thick fog, no light poles, no gas, and alone at 12am. 0X OK I'm a wuss. :oops:

I will repost my "Ultimate Road Trip" topic.. ;)

Qualifies as one my longest - and the most enjoyable to date...

Quote:

Just got back from my ultimate road trip.

A friend of mine asked me to fly with him to Florida on Friday at lunch time to go fetch his new 2003 Sport package equipped SL500 - and help him drive it back to Houston.

Well - 17 hours 59 minutes, 1189 miles and 51 gallons of gas later we arrived in Houston - average trip speed, 67 miles per hour.

The SL500 is the ultimate long distance tourer - bar none!! It is the ULTIMATE people mover!

I suggest GM crush every XLR that comes off the production line to save face...

That is 18 hours TOTAL travel time - including potty breaks, gas stops and a couple nice long food stops.

:D

There is nothing like blasting down I10 at 4am doing 110mph in the worlds best Grand Tourer. :twisted:

my longest trip driving myself goes from the north of South Carolina to Brighton, Michigan with a trailer full of camping equipment, gear. I averaged about 11 miles per gallon, couldn't tell you how many stops, except it took about 12 hours. i dont recall how many miles, but id suppose it would be 600-700miles as there were a lot of stops on the way back. on the way there, we stopped to stay at a lot of separate places separated by no more the 150 miles.

beyond that, i regularly make 220 mile trips that take 3.5 hours to my mom's house, and 120 miles to my dad's house.
