Man that is a cross country drive. How long it take you?

I flew to scranton, PA to pick up my evo and drove it 900 miles back to TENessee on the same day. The car did great......... the bucket seats got a little uncomfortable.

Im still trying to figure out how i flew 1000 miles and drove 900 miles in one day

1300 miles round trip to the Dragon from New Orleans, LA. I have done it twice nothing really bad but not half and easy as in the Maxima. There car wears you out all the noise and the stiffness. The wife wasn't to comfortable trying to sleep in the Recaros.

Went from Seattle to Louisiana after a job once. I bought the Evo in Seattle while working. Took the southern route to miss any snow. It wasn't a bad trip... you will notice the lack of cruise though. Just make sure if you're going to hit snow, ice, or even sub freezing temps, all seasons or winter tires would definitely be recommended.

when I got home from my last deployment, I drove from NC to OH (about 650 miles) then made the trip again 3 days later. less then a week later i made the trip from NC to OH again, waited 2 days, then the wife and I drove from OH to Daytona, then Daytona to Tampa, then back to OH....Ive never done so much driving in such a short period, and as much as I genuinely love driving, the ride took its toll...anything over 5 hours or so and the seats are brutal. other than that, it was great
