Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Leading evidence: 'Run like a top' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Run like a top' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I drove from Santa Fe NM to Kansas City Mo in one day, yesterday. 780 miles. A new single day record for me, in any car. My C4 ran like a top! Acted like the piece of precision German engineering it is supposed to be. Comfortable, fast,and the air conditioning worked well! I will be reversing the process on Monday. Just thought I would share.
Nice!
You have a radar detector?
My record is 850 miles. San Francisco to somewhere in the middle of nowhere about 100 east of Flagstaff. But I was going 75 in a Nissan Pathfinder.
Nope,no radar detector. I try to only drive 10 mph or so over the speed limit. (Although there were times I was MUCH faster.) It was mostly 2 lane country roads. I didn't even see a trooper until I was on I70 west of KC.
Single day all time record for me solo is 2,107 km (1,309 miles), White Rock, BC to Brandon, MB in 21:04 including all stops in a 2009 Chevy Malibu Hybrid. June 2011.
Best in a Porsche so far was 1,625 km (1,010 miles), White Rock, BC to Los Banos, CA with a passenger in 18:34 including stops in my 2004 996 C2 cabriolet. Was heading to LA to pick up a hardtop of all things and was determined to make the magic 1k in a day. 2015.
No radar detector.
Love me some long drives!
I could not imagine anyone owning one of our cars without having a radar detector on board. I have a cobra detector which has helped me out on a few occasions in the past.
My record is driving from Rochester Hills Michigan to Crossville Tennessee
and back
in 26 hours, driving a VW Golf. 1100 miles total. I bought a motorcycle on eBay and had a short time to pick it up before I had to go out of town for business. Pulled a small trailer empty on the way down, completed the purchase and loaded it up for the return trip.
Two of note: First from Jackson, MS to Toronto and back nonstop, except to pick up an airplane that I had bought. Entering Canada was a hassle (pax forgot passport), returning, customs asked what I had in the trailer, waved me through when I said "airplane".
Second A trip from Mobile, AL to Torrance, CA (delivering a helicopter) with only one stop somewhere in TX. Final destination, Jackson, MS. Pretty tough, even with a codriver. Both trips were in a suv pulling a trailer.
Are we talking single day records or bladder records? I've gone from Chicago to Melbourne, Fl in a single shot. As far as bladder range, I live my life in rental cars and some of the new cars can go 600+ miles cruising at 80mph. I've run one from full to a quarter tank, about 450 miles recently. I think it was about 7 hours. I could have kept going but I'd reached my destination.
I had a wedding to be at just outside of Detroit about 15 years ago. I was already looking for a car for the wife (now ex), and low-balled a bid on eBay in the last several seconds before the auction ended a couple of days before our flight out on a beautiful 740i in the same town as our hotel. I won. I surprised her with the car there. Our flight back home after the wedding was Monday morning. I dropped her off at the airport in Detroit at 7:00am on Monday, and arrived home in SoCal Tuesday afternoon. Caffeine pills, a heavy right foot, and one nap in Utah.
I have two to mention. And recall that travelling westbound, you gain an hour as you pass between time zones.
I purchased a Honda Blackbird motorcycle in Denver at 1:00PM (local) and arrived back in Los Angeles at 3:00AM the next day. 1,085 miles in 14 hours ride time.
I purchased the Porsche in Nashville at 11:00AM, and drove the 2,100 miles back to LA in 33 hours drive time.
I love me some long drives, or rides.
