Not sure how many miles this is, but i drove from Pensacola fl, to nashville tn, spent the night, drove to knoxville tn (UT Frat party) then left the next day and drove accross tennessee to Memphis, spent to days, and then drove from there to Pensacola, U can use mapquest or something to figure out the miles,

I also drove from Pensacola to atlanta, spent the day at nopi, and then drove home, This was in my jeep though.

dang, mine really wasn't a road trip compared to any of those... i guess it was the drive i took from LA to san diego and back to pick up a friend of mine... during the summer i'm planning a road trip to go meet up with some friends out in texas...

A couple of 1500-2000 mile round trips. Both before and after the 13BT swap.
And one 1500 mile round trip with the top down the whole time.

Over 2000+ plus miles, last August, starting in Sault Ste. Marie before 4 A.M., meeting a ferry in South Baymouth, ON, Canada. Took me through Niagara Falls back into the States via New York, then to Pennsylvania, then up into New Jersey for the weekend, then southwest to Tennessee, then north to Davenport, Iowa for a wedding, then back north to Michigan.
I had the misfortune of driving 5 hours through Ontario's heatwave which had badly dehydrated me, and I lost an alternator in New Jersey (which was fixed the next day).
The only thing I'm not sure of is how far I drove, but was over 2000 miles. Maybe 3000.

Longest road trip was about 10,000 miles over 3 months. Took off from dallas and went around the country clockwise, up through Toronto and back down to NYC before coming straight back to DFW from there.
Many sidetrips and most of the national parks along the way.

2000 miles one way from Maine to New Orleans, I do it every year to go to school, will be doing it with my turbo when I get it in a few weeks too. No problems, get about 19 miles to the gallon.

Wow well the longest so far for me was 200 miles. I took my buddy down to get his first TII in some town near Springfield mass. It was actually really fun we mostly went like 90-100 and at one point raced some dude in an old *** maxima and hit 120+ for like 5 minutes (Scared the hell outa me the car seems too unstable at that speed)
By the way it was in my 88 N/A R.I.P

Some others. (last long trip. Kansas to MI. I flew and the Car came later in a truck, I was in a hurry).
Only problem I have ever had was on the trip to IL the head popped off the air bleed screw on the radiator.
