well i started my drive to cali to ship my car home to hawaii a couple days back. i am in vegas for the night then heading to long beach at 530 am, I drove the first 500 miles on different highways and the last 1100 on I40 through texas, new mexico, az and nevada. that 1100 strait miles sucked . not having cruise was alright for the first 8 hours after that it kinda sucked . I know for sure that oklahoma has the worst roads i have ever been on, and ive been to every state. i also noticed that our a/c like everyone says sucks when it is really hot I did get great gas milage though in the high 20's the whole way, i did not see a single evo until i got to vegas i have saw two so far . I also want to thank the tech's at courtousy(sp) imports ( ) for giving me a hand when my car acted up they took a look and were very good about it . well another 5 and a half hours tomorrow then im hanging in l/a if anyone is out there shoot me a pm, ill be there friday and sat nights

 

I just travelled 200 miles all highway and managed to click off 25mpg, my all time high! Mitsu A/C's have never been great. Hard to dial in to less cool when it's not that cold, even harder to get ice cold when it's blazing hot outside! I'm heading for the window tint in 2 weeks to prepare for the summer.

 

HPSI9,Not to kill your topic but driving 1100 miles a day you could not just put yourself at risk but others as well. Again, sorry to be and A S S but I would hate something happening to you.

oye thats pretty bad to drive so many miles for break in on highway.... even if u try to vary it... ur not really doing enough probably.

 

i agree, assuming u took breaks in between for gas, snacks, etc. it's still dangerous to be driving so long 14hrs im assuming.. but sounds like you're having a great time cross countrying, u should take pics and rendezvous at meets with different evo clubs

 

It's really not unsafe, atleast when i did several days in a row of 14 hour straight driving - NY to south beach to san diego. You do get into a zone, but you're not delirious by any means. If that is your break in period, that is kinda rough though, hopefully you were up and down on the revs.

 

not my break in period, i have almost 7k on it

as far as the long drive part, i have done many long trips stop every 200 miles for a few minuites get a drink and a snack and your set. i stopped when i felt remotely tired i did stop in new mexico for a few hours at a motel 8

 

lol im going 675 in mine on saturday... Nothing compared to you guys bustin 1,000+

good luck

 

damn i had to do 3 hours from San Antonio to houston and then back every week.. about 200 miles from one place to the other.. another 200 on the way back.. cant imagine how u did that
