New personal record
I drove from Santa Fe NM to Kansas City Mo in one day, yesterday. 780 miles. A new single day record for me, in any car. My C4 ran like a top! Acted like the piece of precision German engineering it is supposed to be. Comfortable, fast,and the air conditioning worked well! I will be reversing the process on Monday. Just thought I would share.

Nice!
You have a radar detector?
My record is 850 miles. San Francisco to somewhere in the middle of nowhere about 100 east of Flagstaff. But I was going 75 in a Nissan Pathfinder.

Nope,no radar detector. I try to only drive 10 mph or so over the speed limit. (Although there were times I was MUCH faster.) It was mostly 2 lane country roads. I didn't even see a trooper until I was on I70 west of KC.

LOL went the other way back in 1981 Hunter Point NY to Sacramento CA in 52 hours in a long nose Peterbilt with a 425 CAT and 1200 miles fuel range.

Single day all time record for me solo is 2,107 km (1,309 miles), White Rock, BC to Brandon, MB in 21:04 including all stops in a 2009 Chevy Malibu Hybrid. June 2011.
Best in a Porsche so far was 1,625 km (1,010 miles), White Rock, BC to Los Banos, CA with a passenger in 18:34 including stops in my 2004 996 C2 cabriolet. Was heading to LA to pick up a hardtop of all things and was determined to make the magic 1k in a day. 2015.
No radar detector.
Love me some long drives!

I could not imagine anyone owning one of our cars without having a radar detector on board. I have a cobra detector which has helped me out on a few occasions in the past.

My record is driving from Rochester Hills Michigan to Crossville Tennessee and back in 26 hours, driving a VW Golf. 1100 miles total. I bought a motorcycle on eBay and had a short time to pick it up before I had to go out of town for business. Pulled a small trailer empty on the way down, completed the purchase and loaded it up for the return trip.

Two of note: First from Jackson, MS to Toronto and back nonstop, except to pick up an airplane that I had bought. Entering Canada was a hassle (pax forgot passport), returning, customs asked what I had in the trailer, waved me through when I said "airplane".
Second A trip from Mobile, AL to Torrance, CA (delivering a helicopter) with only one stop somewhere in TX. Final destination, Jackson, MS. Pretty tough, even with a codriver. Both trips were in a suv pulling a trailer.

LOL I still have that bladder range, my GF does not think I am normal to go from morning till midnight without going #1.

Are we talking single day records or bladder records? I've gone from Chicago to Melbourne, Fl in a single shot. As far as bladder range, I live my life in rental cars and some of the new cars can go 600+ miles cruising at 80mph. I've run one from full to a quarter tank, about 450 miles recently. I think it was about 7 hours. I could have kept going but I'd reached my destination.

I had a wedding to be at just outside of Detroit about 15 years ago. I was already looking for a car for the wife (now ex), and low-balled a bid on eBay in the last several seconds before the auction ended a couple of days before our flight out on a beautiful 740i in the same town as our hotel. I won. I surprised her with the car there. Our flight back home after the wedding was Monday morning. I dropped her off at the airport in Detroit at 7:00am on Monday, and arrived home in SoCal Tuesday afternoon. Caffeine pills, a heavy right foot, and one nap in Utah.
