Is there an award for the shortest road trip? I've owned my S for almost 2 years and I think the longest single drive has been 50 miles.

Los angeles, Hollywood, to Henderson Nevada in one tank of gas with 3 bars to spare. Supercharged to 350hp and had the air conditioner blasting the entire way! Oh, and my car was packed full of stuff, since i was moving permanently. =)))

I can relate, I once did Fort Worth, TX to York, ME non stop in approx. 24 hours in my buddies 2zz swapped MRS (pictured above). It was difficult- especially the home stretch.

I may have wanted to strangle him a bit at the end.

My longest roadtrip (with my wife in the passengers seat) was close to 3500 miles spread across a 2 week vacation. From Fort Lauderdale we drove to Savannah, GA for a few days, then Washington, DC for 4 days. We then spend the next week driving the length of the Blue Ridge Parkway on our way to the Smokey Mountains NP and also hit the Dragon. On the way south we went through Atlanta before returning home.

I love those Florida toll roads, having an Ontario license plate they never send me a bill, lol. The old toll booths were so antiquated and slow though.

Longest road trip in the S2k was 800 miles, and thankfully, it was one way! Our late December, 2011 move from Okla. City, OK to our new home in Durango, CO. We didn't like OK much (understatement) for reasons I shan't go into here. We were very glad to get out of OK and into, shall I say, a more open minded environment. I had long had visions of taking the S2k across the border out of OK for the last time at 150+ mph. But when the time came, I was pretty ill with the flu. A friend had to drive. But my friend had her up well over 130 at the border. Now, there are nine months of top down weather.

One thing I noticed on this trip was a wind noise where the top meets the windshield frame (top part) that began at about 110. If anybody knows how I can fix that, I' appreciate a heads up.

I was in the S2K passenger seat, which everybody says is uncomfortable. Actually, it wasn't all that bad.

And, to answer a question earlier on this thread, my S2K always gets over 30 mpg on the highway cruising at over 100 mph. Almost always better than at 55. Doesn't make sense, and I don't know why.
