orange county to Fresno and back.

**Saracen** · 09-01-2011 04:17 PM

San Diego to Tahoe City (with a side trip to Reno at one point, which I recommend avoiding)

**tankdeer** · 09-02-2011 09:19 AM

Moved from San Diego to Portland in one trip. Just shy of 1100 miles. Otherwise mostly localish stuff. Not many long road trips.

**rjpeaks** · 09-02-2011 09:23 AM

^^wow - now that's culture shock for ya.

my father in law took my son from the OC to their cabin at Lake Odell this summer - one day drive!

It's not that bad when you'd been visiting regularly for 15 years before you move.

It's a long drive for sure, but not too bad if you start early enough. Once you get north of Sac it gets very scenic. Cabin on the lake huh? Must be nice.

How do you manage to take such long trips and your car still looks like it just came from the car wash?

Mine never gets cleaned on long trips because I refuse to use the corner car wash's with their grit filled soap brushes

**MYDWAGON** · 09-02-2011 02:52 PM

Um you can take the pressure washer wand and rinse it off or bring your own sponge.

**Gdlaszako** · 09-02-2011 04:11 PM

I only use those during the winter. and why would you use the brush thats like a car killer.

**MYDWAGON** · 09-02-2011 05:23 PM

If you do it right your fine.My car looks pretty mint for 218k

Miro 111. Thank You!

That's how the car looked when I got back home...

**Gdlaszako** · 09-03-2011 07:09 AM

(sarcasm) That looks like fun to get off (sarcasm)

**expat** · 09-12-2011 08:07 AM

I've just turned 150,000 km this last weekend. Drivin a number of the local tracks on tourist days, southern France, numerous Alps crossings (love Switzerland and Austria) and, my favorite the Stelveto Pass.

This is the only snap I've ever been able to locate of a track day.

**Gdlaszako** · 09-16-2011 04:13 PM

Go to bolder every other week but thats about it for recently

**boy412** · 09-20-2011 11:42 AM

162k and climbing. I've pretty much been all up and down the East coast...although these days I tend to travel with a lot more spare parts.

**Gdlaszako** · 10-17-2011 03:59 PM

smart thinking for sure

**Dusty Mauve** · 10-18-2011 07:17 AM

Longest trip would be about 64 scandinavian miles, around 397 us miles?
Not that much, but if you look at the coastline of Norway, you´d get my point :p
Did that at a total of 10 hours and sum´ hours, that including 6 ferries :p

In total it has done 170.000km, 105k miles :)

**blmlozz** · 10-25-2011 04:35 PM

Suffolk VA, to Virginia Beach VA. Mostly because I haven't felt it's safe to take it further than that recently. Now though I think it could mange coast-to-coast without a sweat.

So... ~ 30miles? lol, pathetic.

**Gdlaszako** · 10-26-2011 02:18 PM

mine went INTO THE SNOW For some fun

**Saracen** · 10-26-2011 02:48 PM

Just crossed 135,000 last week on my '05!

Still love my car. Got some upgrades and goodies planned.

**trayson** · 10-31-2011 04:27 PM

My Avant has 187,000 miles...

**Gdlaszako** · 11-02-2011 01:19 PM

What do you mean you "think" his is a sedan? It either it is, or it isn't. It's really not hard to confuse/mistake the two.

On topic; my car has 126,xxx miles. I have owned it for almost a year now and put 6,000ish on it since December of '10.
