Has anyone taken their R on 12 hour plus road trips? If so, how was the experience, fun or brutal.

 

Depends, ... on you personal comfort level, and "state of tune".

This weekend will be a long one for me.
Leaving Alex. VA early Friday morning on route to Albany NY, then to Redding CT for a BBQ @ noon-ish on Sat, and finally Maple Grove PA (IHRA), and finally back to VA by Sunday evening/night.

Should be fun!!

 

I vacationed in my car for two weeks once. It was a lot of fun driving Wyoming and Montana back roads every day, but you're sore when you get out of the car. I had leg cramps the whole time. The noise gets a little old too.

Edit: It was fun and brutal

I've gone to Toronto from Virginia but it was only an 8 hour trip. What made it fun for me was one lane roads with passing allowed on the oncoming traffic lane.

 

drove R after 4 hours my foot was hurting so much !!
man i need a cruise control

 

I've done it a bunch of times... It really wears you out by the time you get to the destination.

I've done the drive from Chicago<->Boston and St. Louis<->Boston.

I learned my lesson on the the Boston to St. Louis drive. I did it in 1 day, and it took a LOT longer than I expected. (~18 hours) By the end of the drive my ears had a little ringing, my butt was a little sore, and my fiancee made me promise that I would never do that to her again

Once went from NJ to Keywest and back, the car needed only 1 qt oil and a bunch of gas.
If you complain about the noise/ you bought the wrong car, other wise It just needs Cruise control

 

drove from Orlando to Panama City to Long Island, NY - 25 hours and got it all on video!!

 

Kalamazoo, MI ---> Key West, FL.

1600 miles, 28 hours.

 

I've been thinking of doing a Chicago--->Miami and Lauderdale. The problem is I can't justify it because I fly for free anyways. Maybe sometime this summer

 

ATL -> Ft. Lauderdale 9 hours

two days later,

Key West -> ATL 12 hours

All done with MOMO 1000 Lakes bucket seat. No problem what so ever.

 

Nothern California-->Las Vegas for SEMA 2000 average was just over 90mph

Mapquest quoted me 12 hours, took 8.5 hours worth of driving...I'm a little particular, so I check the oil at every fill-up, added 1/2 quart of oil ~1/2 way through the trip, but in the beginning there was a little high rpm driving down I-5

I hate I-10! I used to go to UWF in Pensacola, and i drove home to Naples like every other month, now thats a shitty drive.....but i have a GSR Mmmm, so comfortable
