I bought my car in Mesa, Arizona and made a road trip out of it on the way back to IL. Stopped at the grand canyon which was out of the way but worth it. Probably around 2000 miles when I got back home. Really fun.

No cruise is terrible, but thankfully the car was stock - I don't think I could have done it with a TBE. It was a fun trip overall.

2,200 miles in 6 days with my wife last May. From Minneapolis, MN we drove around Lake Huron then back to Minneapolis through MN, WI, MI upper peninsula, MI mainland, and Canada.

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&sour...,14.150391&z=6

We took my S2000 around Lake Superior (1,800 miles in 5 days) and her WRX around Lake Michigan (1,700 miles in 5 days).

I've also made the Minneapolis to Dallas trip (1,000+ miles one-way) a few times now in the Evo.

Most I did was to Reno, Nevada from Sacramento, CA. I guess I don't take her out on long trips!

Chicago, IL to Newport, RI - 1,001 miles each trip...First Chicago to Newport was 18 hours because my car was weighed down with my girlfriend's things for college. Along with her nagging that I was driving too fast On the way back I did it in 13 hours straight shot to Chicago...Almost picked up a hitch hiker, but I didn't finish the J in time before asking her haha
