My brother and I did 2200 miles in 36 hours in a Datsun 240 Z. We were 17 + 19, so young enough to have the energy. Never shut the car off because we were afraid it wouldn't start again, lol

We just pumped the gas, no one cared. We shut it off the first gas stop and had to push start it and didn't want to risk it.

I only shut my truck off to get gas maybe half the time. Been doing that for almost 20 years. It’s safe.

I think 8 hours in my max. Any more and it's just too much driving for one day.

I have done 20 hours and it's exhausting, and that was 1000 miles. I stop every 2 hours and have at least a 15 minute rest.

Drove Seattle to LA 1000 miles in a Mazda RX2 in about 18 hours. I could not turn off the engine unless there was a hill big enough to get up 35 mph to pop the clutch. The seals on the engine were shot. Not a fun drive

My longest one shot drive was from Balmorhea in Texas (little town on I-10 I slept in my car in on my first leg from San Diego) to Fort Walton Beach in FL. 1,250 miles, over 16 hours, by myself.

It was incredibly dangerous at the end because I was so tired, but I was so close I didn't want to stop.

Total was 2100 miles in about 35 hours.

i drove up to Colorado (nearly a 20 hour trip from NOLA) with my gf just a few weeks after we stared dating.... It was nice. Legal weed is a great concept for vacations.
