A couple of decades ago, when I was young(er) and (more) foolish, I several times did the drive between Columbia, SC and Dallas, TX in a single day. It was just a touch over a thousand miles. Idiocy.

My grandfather drove us to holiday from Germany to Spain every year.

Took 2-3 days. He slept a few hours in the car at night.

I once did a whirlwind trip from TN to NM, UT, CO, and back to TN. 5,000+ miles in 5 days. Average speed over 40MPH with some sleep and some meetings included. Idiocy, indeed.
