Oh yeah, my longest solo is about 14 hours, with several 10-12 hour trips. These long drives don't really bother me and I suspect I could actually go a while longer than 14, provided I'm not unusually tired or something before I even leave. I'm also not afraid to either stop or ask someone else to drive if I'm not up to it part way through the trip, though.

I've done 18 hours straight, on my 21st birthday but without having gotten drunk the night before. Boone NC to Hawley Ma- it would have been shorter, but he last 2-3 hours i was stopping every 15 mins to piss.

I think people in Boone get drunk every night [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

My longest is Greenville NC to Birmingham, AL. Between 11-12 hours depending on number of bathroom breaks. I do that trip several times a year.

Nice avatar, I used to watch it years ago. Do they even have the show on anymore? It was so retarded, but I couldn't pull myself away.

Moved my father-in-laws stuff in a 24' Uhaul with a 12' trailer on the back from Albuquerque, NM to north of Milwaukee, WI in 26 or so hours if I remember right. I was just thankful I got reimbursed for the gas. I remember driving through TX and OK in the middle of the night hearing about tornado warnings on the radio in a bunch of different counties, wondering if I was driving through any of them. White knucking it driving through Albuquerque wondering how wide the thing was, afraid to switch lanes, not knowing if the trailer cleared the car in the next lane etc. By the time I was going through Milwaukee, I'd put on the blinker, count to 5 and just start moving into the next lane. I think that'll be my longest.

The Red Green show was awesome. I haven't seen it in a few years, though. It really went downhill once it got 'big', though, and you could tell they all of a sudden had a bigger budget.

I refuse to drive more than 5 hours for any reason at all. However, since I live in Los Angeles, this gets me to Vegas, San Francisco and Mammoth Mountain. Works out pretty well if you ask me.

I also drove straight from Washington, DC to Panama City, FL for spring break. I left around 9PM and drove all night, fueled by ephedrine. THAT I recall as being dangerous for sure.

I did Geneva, NY to Panama City Beach for Spring Break one year, too. Although, I did it with three others and we made stops along the way down there. The way back we did it straight through in 18 hours. We did driving shifts though, the hardest part was not killing someone in the car with you after a week of hanging out and then being in a car 18 hours with them.
