I was dead. Surprised at how much distance driving can drain you.

Lots of miles considering you need to drive that much back too!
I would have about the same distance to travel if I went...

Dude, count me in......

17. 09acuratsx - Colorado Springs

To the fellow TSXer's, don't be scared to drive cross country I drove from Colorado Springs to Baltimore in 25 hours, not to mention I had to drive back. It's not bad guys and don't stress the mileage...... IF you take care or her, she'll take care of you regardless how many miles you have on her. Not to mention she's an Acura!!!! See you guys there.

Uhmm lets see. 19 hours 38 mins/ 1,208 miles one way on my car with about 160,000 miles on it.

I wouldn't risk it. If I had a new car then sure why not!

I have done countless trips to Mooresville, North Carolina and Back to New Jersey (10 hours) but this is just way too much.

For those of you that are going from NY and NJ, I hope you guys and gals do a nice tune up before you head out.

I'd rather drive at night than during the day.
I actually do my trips to North Carolina ONLY at night. Leave around 8 or 9 pm.

Pretty smooth driving. Never hit any traffic and night time has cooler temp = better for car.

Only cons I see is that the headlights will be on and during the summer.. bugs are attracted to light so more carnage on your front bumper and not a lot of businesses are open.
