1,4xx miles in 26 hours many years ago,in a 1972 Olds 98,from Dallas,Tx/ Whittier,Ca. (a suburb east of L.A.)It took LOTS of coffee & cokes!!...and a few stops for Gas & Food & Rest Stops? Also did Dallas/Phoenix once in my '95 Crown Vic in about 16 hrs,(Edit: I keep gas/mileage records.I looked it back up.15 hr,37 min.)(about 1,000-1,100 mi,all Interstates)and my very best(or worst,depending on outlook??) was Dallas,Tx to just outside of Louisville,Ky(not sure of miles..700 or so? And rain half the way!!)in 13+ hrs.(Was going to Cincinatti,Oh,Tried going straight thru,but I got too sleepy....I had to pull off...less than 100mi from destination?)Also did Dallas,Tx/Wichita,Ks in 4 hr,45 min(365 mi )and New Orleans,La/Dallas,Tx in 8hr,10min(520+ mi)both times were at night,in my '86 Gran Fury.(Note: I went back to edit,seems half of it didn't post,and the smileys were missing.Also corrected the times.)

Two times I made 1200 km in one day.
The first time during my "autodriveaway"-trip 1993 in the US, it was somewhere between Reno/Nevada and Salt Lake City.
The second time in 1998, when I've bought my VW K 70 in San Remo/Italy. Back home it was 1200 km, too.

My record seems to be 569 miles in a Mk.II Ford Transit: Stourbridge (West Midlands)/Falkirk/Inverness/Dunkeld. I didn't stay in that job long ...
Otherwise: Venlo (NL) to Salzburg (A), 504 miles, in a Jaguar S-type, which was the easiest 504 miles I've ever driven.

The most I've probably driven in a day is about 150 miles. Depending on when i get my license I may drive anywhere between 10-20 miles a day.

I've driven from Red Wing, MN to Chicago, IL several times, but I've probably driven farther in Iraq, at least it seemed that way...

Me and a friend drove a Volvo 740 with a trailer behind last friday to buy a BMW 325 IX. We drove about 1000 km (620 miles) but we drove half way each so it wasn't too bad.
Last summer we drove 300 km (190 miles) one way, and back two days later with a homemade Volvo 240 cabriolet/roadster. It was rainy too...

To achieve that distance in my country, I'd have to go north from Southampton (my hometown) right to the top of Scotland then back down again into the north of England. I consider 300 miles (which is what we do when I go to visit my grandparents near Newcastle) to be a long journey, but Americans are probably used to doing longer distances than we do in our crowded little island.

I only stopped for gas, food and lots of coffee. No passengers. Even alone it was not fun and I certainly never tried that kind of drive again.

1000 miles in one day (sixcyl beats wrenchhead by 76 miles) is pretty hardcore! 16 hours of sitting in the same car seat, good God. How often did you take a break during those 16 hours? I sure hope you didn't have any kids in the car with you! That would been a nightmare, for you and the kids.
