Longest Drive you have taken ?

[s0nIc]

So we finally decided to take a vacation at the end of may,However my wife is scared of flying plus for 3 people its almost 1200.00.So we decided to drive from Omaha ne To orlandoFL ,1350 miles estimated 22hours.Now Im worred about working my charger ,Has anybody here drove some thing like this was your car okay,Should I have nothing to worry about,Or should I drop 500.00 on a rent a car.

especially you drove that far
oil change ac checkup

rental is the best bet

I am guessing it's a newer Charger. Just get an Oil Change and change the air filter before the trip (If needed). Then go at it, not very far if you ask me. I make that distance trip every other week. With certain parts cruise set at 110 MPH... I would not worry about it.

EDIT: But if you have the green, get a rental car with full coverage insurance... Most fun you will ever have.

I drove about 19 hours in a 1998 Nissan Sentra. All I did was change the oil, got my tires checked for pressure, filled up my tank of gas, made sure my spare tire was okay and went. Didn't have any problems at all.

The one thing I did forget was getting a road atlas, but that was for after I made the drive, figuring out how to get somewhere else that I didn't originally plan on going to.

Its a 2006 dodge charger But the dealer warranty is gone So thats a bummer.I would love to get a rent a car but I think its dumb for paying 500.00 for a car Im going to use for 4 days out of the whole vacation.One thing I love about Taking my care is that there is tvs,So if my daughter gets restless we can put a movie on for her.

I've had several long drives:

Atlanta to South Padre Island, Texas --- about 22 hours straight.

Atlanta to Yellowstone --- God knows how long, we stopped in Kansas City and Denver.

Atlanta to NYC several times --- only 885 miles or so.

Atlanta to central Michigan several times --- only 825 miles or so.

Cars were, of course, fine in all instances.

If you go to the Airport, you should be able to rent a car for about $10-20 a day.

The Road to Hana.

Awesome drive if you have patience. It's nto the distance you drive. It's the time it takes. Made it all the way from Ka'anapali to Oheo Gulch and back in 7 hours.

It was best the first time just my wife and I. When we went last year we had a caravan of 3 cars and they just couldn't keep up. Well, one could but the other couldn't.

Funny too cause I was in the mustang convertible which is big for that road.

Years ago I went to the south of France, almost at the Spanish border with this friend. It was a crazy week-end, it was during my military duty in Germany so that Friday I rode 500 Km from Germany to Belgium (in train), then 1200 Km with a car to the south of France, we stayed a few hours only, then back home some 1200 Km in the car and after sleeping some hours home it was Sunday and I was back in the train and to the barracks in Germany which is 500 more Km.

In total that week-end I did 3400 Km across 3 countries.

Man, you just reminded me of some looong drives I forgot about - from Munich, W Germany to Lorrett de Mar Spain twice and again to the far end of Spain (Rota). Also made about four trips from Munich to Holland by rental car...good times...and many, many ski trips. That was a lot of driving.
