1167 miles or 1878 km but that was years ago when we left here and drove to Clearwater Florida. Our last trip was to Oklahoma 548 miles or 882 km, coming back was farther because we went to Little Rock Arkansas on the way back.
Luckily we didn't lose the SUV during or after the trip.

When in Europe we have rented a car and drove many miles when we were there two months. Can't remember the klms and for two years we traveled around Australia with our caravan. When I look back we sure were gypsies.

Keep your mask handy when I start posting pictures of bugs, one is on ragweed. Most of my travels use to be walking around the neighborhood with my last dog, about a half mile each trip out. So those were really short trips. With our new puppy we only wild to the yard, maybe 150 steps at the most.

I'm allergic to surgical plasters So is my mother. She always needs to have a tolerable type in the medicine box in case she should cut her finger. How far and where is the furthest you have driven your car? in July 2005, Lys and I drove our old Toyota Carina all the way from Oslo to Brindisi in southern Italy do pick up some belongings when my in-laws sold their appartment. 3300 km and three days each way, total 10000 km during the two-month thrip. the engine boiled in the summer heat between Pisa and Rome, but we found a helpful fuel station guy with a high pressurised air gun that blew the dust out of our air filter, so that we could continue. LOL. Two weeks after we came back, our car was stolen and vanished without a trace. Me too geriatrix

LOL, @gibby ! I was at a carnival in Brazil in 1997 wearing normal clothes, but with long hair and beard, when I guy dressed in a toga with laurels in his hair approached me and said: "Please forgive me for what my minions did to you 2000 years ago!" He was supposed to be Emperor Augustus and thought I was the spitting image of Jesus!

In high school I had this one girl come up behind me and cover my eyes and say "Guess who" I'd turn and she saw it wasn't the friend she thought. But I was friends with her and the other guy. It was good for a laugh, though she was a little embarrassed.

Does walking to the fridge for a beer count?

Does walking to the fridge for a beer count? Only if you do it 100 times a day or more! I run some kilometers and do back exercises every day + walk through the forest with a friend for more than one hour every Tuesday night.
