    I've done just shy of 600 miles in a single day in the F355 once....
    Not a hiccup other than tired clutch leg after an hour in traffic....

    Knowing you, I'm really surprised that you didn't circle around a few times to take the odometer past the 1,000 mile mark. Linda must have been with you.

    I could be off half hour but when driving we were doing 80 and faster to pass. Everyone wants to pass the ferrari so i had lots of blockers. Bought a tyredog tpms for 165 bucks for the trip was interesting to watch pressures and pressures. Pressures went up abought 4 lbs but temp on back was over 100f

    You are hardcore for sure. I couldn't imagine driving that far in my F355 - especially in August. We just drove 4 1/2 hours back from Monterey to LA and I was happy to be home. Secretly I was wishing we took our Yukon (Is that bad?) although that might have created an issue at the Concorso Italiano. It didn't help that it was blazing hot around Bakersfield. On the upside nobody beat us through the Grapevine - although a 1998 Corolla came close.

    Just wanted to post because i know there are lots of us that do not consider our cars untrustworthy.

    Just talked with my farther he drove his 2015 escalade and 100 miles from home it locked him out at the gas station with both sets of keys in the vehicle. So i teased him and said now which vehicle is more better.

    Did Saskatoon to Edmonton ~6hrs drive. Was bareable. Butt hurt after.

    Thought about doing Calgary to Vancouver a few weeks ago, wanted the 348 at my wedding in Vancouver, unfortunately didn't have time to figure the logistics of driving it there and then shipping back as we were headed away after the wedding. Some day I will do that drive though, one of my favs.
