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

How do you define a trip? As you have 5000 miles as a choice, I assume that it is allowed to sleep inbetween?
Yes.  On the Boston-Louisville trip, we stopped overnight in Buffalo... in January. :bleeding:  It of course snowed two feet that night.
Buffalo, WTF that takes you like 200 miles out of your way doesn't it?

Jet: I see.

Not quite 200 miles, but it's definitely not the best route.  The fastest route from Boston to Louisville goes through the central part of Pennsylvania then down into Ohio across to Columbus.

Mine did San Fransisco to New York (via LA, Kansas City, Washington DC)

The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

About 1450 km in one go (without sleeping). Two drivers though.

Riding shotgun 720 miles from home in Germany to Vienna.

Across almost all of Canada from Idaho to New England, and then back to Chicago.  After having driven from Chicago to southern Utah, and then up to Canada.    How much is that?

Not a particularly good childhood memory.

LA to SF is the farthest I've ever personally driven, so about 400 miles.  Been from LA to Alaska before but it was over a couple weeks and I was too young to drive.
