Ok, I'm sure Kat or Beeb will 'win' this poll, but I figured I'd ask anyway, since I am curious.  I am planning on driving to New Jersey this summer to go to my cousin's wedding and I calculated that it'll be a 702 mile trip, one way.  I think the longest I ever drove myself in one trip before was from Boston to Louisville, which was 970 miles given the idiotic route my mother in law insisted on taking.

I drove from Roma QLD to Moomba SA just to arrive to find I wasn't needed and go straight back home.

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

I drove from Cumberland RI to Nashville, that was 19 hours worth of driving. Not sure how far in miles.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.

About 50 miles. :(
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

1,078 miles according to Google Maps.  Nice drive too, looks like you would have gone through the Smokies. :wub:

How do you define a trip? As you have 5000 miles as a choice, I assume that it is allowed to sleep inbetween?

Voted wrong then, I chose the 500-1,000 mile one.

Yes.  On the Boston-Louisville trip, we stopped overnight in Buffalo... in January. :bleeding:  It of course snowed two feet that night.

About 450 miles to Scotland. You can't go much further in the UK - you'd be in the sea :P

I've never driven too far, my car really sucked and even going down to Middlesbrough (50 miles) was something my parents wouldn't let me do (it was many years ago I had a car)

My family drove from Washington state to Virginia back when I was a kid. Naturally I didn't drive then.
