    2,800 Mi in the blue beast when I mustered out of the Navy. That was a fun road trip home. Only problem I had was I lost my original delux gas cap at a gas station in Texas. (forgot to put it back on...LOL...) About a 100 Mi in the Sprint...Round trip from a car show. Generally I put about 50 a week on the Sprint.

    I driven mine to Tulsa (about 100 miles from home) several times and we drive in allot of rod runs that are usually 150-200 mile round trips, and our car is 4.11 geared, was a 5speed now is C4 with a 3500 converter, but it still doesnt offer any problems.
