I drove Heidi from Seattle to Bowling Green Kentucky with my brother in my car, a roof top carrier and roof bars, and the car fully loaded down with all my crap

But I still wouldn't use cinder blocks myself! They crumble too easily.

Virginia Beach to St. Louis twice in 3 weeks at 13 hours each leg. I averaged 80mph at 28mpg. 
My only problem was the original PS hose let go before arriving for the first trip. I replaced it while there and had no other issues.

I took my previous 951 on a nearly 24hr straight LeMans style drive.
Bought it in Tampa FL and drove to Houston then to Dallas.
Never had problem one! Never again though!
