Who's taken a decent road trip in their car? My longest would be my trip back to NY a couple of years ago in my 6. 1900 miles each way for that trip. On the way out, I did it in 2 days, a more leisurely 3 days on the way back. I took the pup with me on that trip...she's a great road trip dog.
A month ago, I did the much shorter 1300ish mile round trip to KC. I must say, the 8 didn't get cramped at all on that trip. Granted it was just me the entire way out.
Anyone else?

I have an upcoming trip to St Louis and back in about a month:
Mini Trans America Zoom-Zoom
And in the spring of 2007, I just got a job in the Denver area while my family was still back in Wichita, KS as my wife finished up teaching and got the house sold. Every weekend in April of 2007, I was on the road driving back and forth. The first trip back to Wichita, I got caught in a snow storm just south of Salina, KS. The interstate had about 4" of the most slushy snow I've ever seen. There were cars all along the interstate in the ditch. I followed a cattle truck all the way to Wichita because he was clearing the way for me.
Route
Google Maps claims a couple ticks over 9 hours, but I swear I was doing it in the 7.5 hour range.

A lot of you have taken some long trips. If I took that kind of trip in my car I would be numb after 500 miles.

The FD did feel small after a while, but it wasn't uncomfortable...the car fits people my size like a glove.
