No connection. It was as far as I got driving to see family in south jersey before I started hitting the wake 'em up bumps.

That stretch of 81 between Knoxville and Roanoke is damn rough.

Mobile to Palm Beach. Never again.

I'd take those hills over flat I-59 MS/AL pine woods any day.

You know it. I did not even turn my lights on and kept the windows rolled up.

Baton Rouge to Northern Michigan. 17ish hours. I pounded 5 hour energy and smelled like a middle school PE dudes locker room

770 miles. Longview, TX to El Paso, TX. The next day to San Diego was only 730 miles or so.

Drove from San Francisco to BR nonstop. I think I slept at the gas pump for a few minutes/hours, or I got abducted, but I never officially stopped. Got back to BR and my GF had gone home to see her parents. The days before cell phones... I was pissed, and a bit crazy.

Connecticut to Mississippi. Don't recall how long it took since it was 20 or so years ago. Best recollection is about 20 hours.

Non-stop was a BR to Dallas driving 60 mph got there on one tank of gas in a Honda Accord 4cyl. Peed in a bottle.
Not stopping for anything but gas/food I drove from BR to Denver for Spring Break 99(last semester at LSU). That car did not have cruise control either.

730 miles in about 12 hours from Poplar Bluff MO to Panama City Beach stopping once in Hattiesburg for gas and a tinkle stop in Semmes at a place that lies about having clean restrooms.

BR to Denver

Furthest: El Paso to New Orleans at 1100 miles. Had to detour three times b/c of traffic and closures, so probably around 1150 miles. Was gonna keep driving through to Orange Beach, but felt like eating an actual meal, so I stopped at my house. Felt perfectly fine when I got to NO though.
Longest: L.A. to El Paso. Took about 18 hours because of brief scenery stops, traffic, closures, and I stopped to eat twice.
Eta: Left on a Monday, drove 4045 miles, and was in Orange Beach Saturday morning. Could've made it shorter by a day or two, but I went sightseeing along the way. Absolute worst was L.A. to San Diego to El Paso along the border

BR to Telluride for Bluegrass.

Mines on a motorcycle, did 1536 for a certificate. Just did a big loop on the interstate only stopping for gas/food. Don't recommend it and don't drive behind a motorcyclist with a hose sticking out of his pants leg.

Non-stop? Houston to Phoenix. But I drove L.A. to Boston alone a few years ago when I moved. Stopped a few nights along the way.
