What's the longest 1 way drive you've taken in your GTM on the street (not race miles)?

Does anyone have a road trip planned with their GTM?

Longest for me so far is a 100 mile loop.

Cool, someone else who does driving loops! I map out a loop, sometimes that crosses over itself multiple times (especially if there are numerous mountain crossings or tunnels), reset the trip odometer, and just enjoy the time on the road, even though the destination is the start point. My current looper is hot, loud, overkill, hard on gas, hard on your kidneys, (likely hard on your lungs too) so I wear ear plugs, bring water, dress appropriately, keep the cameras running, and smile the whole time I am driving, half the time under the speed limit. I'm excited to get my GTM up and available for those kind of loops in the future!

I always explain my GTM experience as having nothing to do with getting from Point A to point B. It's all about the the driving in between. Most of the times I drive mine not to go somewhere, it's just to experience being behind the wheel and feeling the car as an extension of my body and soul.

Wow Man... That's Far Out... :cool:

Saw a nice picture of your car at the Autorama. I guess Murray was getting set up.

Ok... So it was a partial picture. But it's still cool to see.

Take care Buddy.

27084The farthest I've been is coast to coast across Florida and back. 350 miles or so. I drove it over to the speedway in Daytona for the Turkey Rod run.
