I've been trying to limit how far I follow cars (to prevent rock chips)
A car is meant to be driven. stop worrying about that kind of stuff and enjoy the car.

I have taken my car from Phoenix to Vegas ~5 hours many times. I also drive it up to Prescott ~1.5 hours at least a couple times a month. No problems.

Pffft>> I drove 1500 miles in 5 days out in AZ on vacation. Scottsdale -> Sedona -> Flagstaff -> South Rim Grand Canyon -> Kingman -> Hoover Dam and Las Vegas -> Needles, CA -> Lake Havasu City -> Phoenix I love AZ, and I enjoyed the ride, though I wasn't driving my G during the trip.
What's in Prescott? I missed that stop on my trip. Anything good?

And you never showed up at SRD, for either of the two weekends I was there. What's up with that? No sedans showed up at all!! But there was a McLaren SLR!!!! You missed seeing that dude!

^hahhaha
did all other buttons brake on your computer?




The longest trip I made in G was close to 200 miles.
I don't like to take G for a long trips. That car is rough and my a$$ starts to hurt after a while. Everytime I need to go on a long trip I get my brotha to go with me and we ride his Lexus 470. He hates my car (cuz it's sporty and rough) so he always takes his SUV, and I drive it most of the time............that is one sh!tty car Lexus made.

I travel from orlando to miami occasionally, which is about a 3-4hour drive. I believe its about almost 300 miles, so its not that bad. all you need is some music and a radar detector haha
