Did about 650 miles in one day. From Atlanta, Ga to Lake Charles, LA. Took about 9-10 hours given a lunch break and some restroom breaks. Did the trip with top down 80% of the time. It's only fun if you get to relax afterwards. I attended a wedding the next day so it was fun.

Wow, my little two-hour trip to the beach feels woefully inadequate now.

I feel ya, my longest non stop trip in the S is 3 hours

I've done much, much longer trips but in boring cars so those don't count.

Longest road trip in the s2000 was about 3k miles. S FL to DC, blue ridge parkway, tail of the dragon, and back. But that was spread over several days.

Longest single day about 10-11 hours. Fatigue is not really an issue for me, but I'm a stereotypical 50th percentile male (height/wt) so the seats work great for me.
