drove to atlanta for my mkiv supra, flew to new orleans to pick up the vette and drove it back by myself, it was the first stick car i had owned and had driven one once before for like 5 minutes. It was a quick learning curve in downtown new orleans (pre katrina)

I drove a friend just south of Daytona from clearwater once.

And then drove his car back.

Farthest I have gone for myself would be....clearwater to Tampa I think.
