To the outer banks from Birmingham. Not sure how many hours I think 14 or so.
Rode a Greyhound bus from El Cajon, California to Birmingham. Never will forget the stop in Shreveport.
Rode a Honda st1300 from Birmingham into eastern North Carolina in the rain the whole way. That was not fun.

I've driven from NOLA to CHI more times than I can recall. That's about 900 miles each way. Nowadays that's about a 13 hour drive one way averaging 70 mph.
On one trip long ago, I hit snow right upon entering IL (which is over 400 miles of the trip from entering IL to CHI). Took 18 hours total, only driver. Cars with IL license plates were crashed everywhere. I thought to myself, WTF am I doing driving in the snow when these people apparently can't.
Worst road trip ever.
Made it safe though.

My BIL is from Chicago. He drives BR to Chi at least once a year. He has left during winter storms...doesn't bother him. I think any drive over 4 hours is too long.

A friend of mine and I drove straight from Los Angeles to Austin. Pretty brutal.
Also drove from B.R. to Morgantown West Virginia -- that one just about fried my brain and is the reason I will never drive longer than 8 hours at a stretch.

A good NOLA to ATL 7.5-8 hours isn't too bad nowadays. Beyond that now, I get a "2nd wind" for another hour or two - or another driver.

When I lived in Aurora, Co I would drive home about once or twice a year to Lafayette at the time. Coming home I could make it to about OK City. Going back I could make it to about Hayes, KS. That stretch of I70 between Salinas, KS and Denver is loooooooooong.

By myself:
State College, PA to Atlanta, GA: 12 hours roughly. frickin sucked. Made that drive a few times.
One time I took 3 buddies with me to go to the Braves opening series (one friend was a cubs fan) and experience Athens. We left State College at 4 pm and got to my house in GA at 4 am. Next day we drove to Turner Field which is about 45 min from my house and back. Next day we drove to Athens for the night and then back to my house which is an hour to and an hour from. Then back from my house in GA to State College. All within 4 days. Put a ton of miles on my truck.
Longest ever was Key West, FL to Athens, GA straight through. I drove half and one of my buddies finished up. We got back to the hotel that morning at 6 am from downtown and I had to wake everyone up to checkout at 9:30 am. Drive was I wanna say 15-15.5 hours and only stopped to fuel and eat. I was driving on fumes after the first half. On the way down we stopped in some shithole in FL and I drove the first 10 hours and the last 5 we made my buddy do so we could drink.
Driving to Key West blows.
