I drove from Cleveland, OH to Boston through the night. Left after 1am, drove through a snowstorm for two hours after buffalo and still managed to make the drive in 9 hours 17 minutes.

NW Montana to Boston in 56 hours in a 26' diesel truck. Not fun. Doing something similar in the 335 in a few weeks. Looking forward to that a lot more.

6K clutch dumps in reverse during a busy school zone area.




In all seriousness, Chicago to Miami and back a week later.

I've done this same drive as well as:

Rehobeth Beach, DE to Atalanta, GA

Boston to Manchester, TN (had a couple hours of help on that one)

Boston to Denver (I only drove 12 hours of this) we only stopped to get gas.

I've done a lot of road trips but those were the biggest non stop drives.

NYC (Staten Island) to Orlando (1100 miles) in a 2007 Honda Civic w/ my bro in 13.5 hours door to door. Left home at 8:00pm, showed up at grandma's for breakfast at 10:30. Everyone was shocked how we didn't get a ticket. Didn't even have a radar detector back then. The car was at 3500-4k rpm the whole night. We had the cruise set at 95mph and our excuse would have been but officer the sign said 95! lol. It was quick loud and uncomfortable. I usually do that drive in about 14.5-15 hours.

I had two tanks of roughly 5 gallons so I didn't have to stop where I didn't want to. They leaked when driving on rougher roads so I sat in gasoline fumes for a couple of days. Everyone warned me about cops in Mexico but they only pulled me over once, and didn't even check my papers. Guessing these cops were looking for someone.

Highways in Mexico were cool though, you pay if you want to go on them, and you're almost by yourself as you follow the east coast down....so I guess that might be the Autobahn of the americas.

Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras and Nicaragua is almost the same as for driving. Honduras and Nicaragua is a pain when it comes to cops. Always wanting some change even though you haven't done anything.

Also went from Melbourne to Cape Tribulation in Australia on a bike, but I was 17 and the bike was a 250 so I guess that doesn't count.

Left San Fran late morning, got to riverside ca around 7. Took of from riverside at 720 and drove to Parker Arizona. FFuuunnnn, not.

(On 3 hours of sleep) Went snowboarding at Snowbird in Salt Lake City utah, left at 1 p.m. and drove to riverside ca. When I got to Las vegas I could not belive I still had 4.5 more hours. 40 min away from home I started to dream untill the grooves from the road woke me while I was drifting off...Never again!

I love driving though. I just make it hard on myself.

I drove from Tallahassee to Stone Mountain Park in Atlanta for 4ngiefest and back in the same day once. Was about 5 hours each way. I also made the trip from Tallahassee to Fort Lauderdale (about 480 miles and 7 hours) in a little under 6 hours averaging around 80-85 and made it with 1/8 of a tank left.

I drove from south texas( 10 hours from my house to Arkansas!!) to Chicago. Got there, rested for about 5 hours, then drove to KY to meet up with more bimmer guys. Then we all drove down to ATL. Then drove home on Sunday.

About 3500 miles road trip.

This year I did a 4500 mile road trip from my house to College, Station, then to AZ, to SD, up the 101, back to Vegas, Grand Canyon, back to vegas, then back home..
About 4500 mile road trip with my 3 week old car. Loved it.
