Re: How far have you driven in one shot?
Cleveland to Lake Tahoe. My friend and I switched off driving though, and we stopped to watch the Miami v. Ohio State national championship game at a bar.

Re: How far have you driven in one shot?
I once drove from Austin Texas to just outside Chicago Illinois non-stop. I finally pulled over and checked into a hotel to sleep, after dozing at the wheel and spinning out the car. Stupid days.

Re: How far have you driven in one shot?
21 hours. Orlando, FL to Portland, ME. I intended to stop somewhere and sleep, but I just never felt like it. I was young and driving long distances was no big deal. Not anymore. Anything over 5 hours and I'm flying.

Re: How far have you driven in one shot?
My best in each direction:
Camden NJ to Parsboro, Nova Scotia. Camden NJ to Miami. Camden NJ to Atlantic City Camden NJ to west of the Mississippi @ La Crosse, WI. All were done in one shot, beer and pot, no stimulants. AC was done without stopping at any traffic signals. The good old days. But I've reformed (mostly).

Re: How far have you driven in one shot?
Orlando, Fl nonstop to Brooklyn, NY. Only stopped for food, gas and bathroom breaks. The strongest stimulant I had was coffee. This was before Red Bull was available.
And no I would not do it again.

Re: How far have you driven in one shot?
Plymouth IN to Lancaster PA (11 painful hours) solo leaving after a wedding reception (day began with an eightsome playing nine holes at 5:30 AM)
Clemson SC to Lancaster PA (10 ridiculous hours) as a passenger, one five-minute fuel/bathroom stop. From the morning after a Panthers' game back in time for a rec soccer game. Bloomington IN to Lancaster PA (11 hours) solo with a few meal/gas stops. This was the trip in which I learned the beauty of audiobooks. They pass the time much faster than music. Lancaster PA to Chapel Hill NC and back (8-9 hours) driving a 12-passenger van full of HS girls to and from basketball camp. Trip there was painfully loud. Return trip was much better--they were all too exhausted to be rowdy. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] I'm going to Bloomington this weekend, but now that I'm not a poor young man, I'm flying. I'll never do another 10-hour drive in my life.

Re: How far have you driven in one shot?
I've made the Atlanta - Miami run many a time. Did Atlanta - Houston once, all I can say is its longer than it looks. When I was a kid in 1972, my old man packed the family up and moved us from Philly to Miami. We had to "beat the moving van." Insurrection finally occured around Vero Beach. I think my sister made herself throw up so we could stop. The moving van got there two days later.
