Took a vacation road trip in "Lady Jasper" from Seattle to Jasper National Park in Alberta Canada.

19.5 hours one way, then return.

4 hours one way (Friday to work, Sunday back home) every week for the last 9+ months.


Car is decent few issues rides good, 3.9L has enough power to get around the left lane bandits and highway speed running average 85 - 90 mph typical fuel mileage around 23 - 24 mpg.


Long trips usually once per year to the homeland are around 22 hours one way but usually take Momma's vehicle for that.

Cool

Back in 07 my Daughter and her husband moved to Colorado Springs, we were set to go and the Van we had the window wouldn't work at the last minute so we took the Monte Carlo out. Everything worked fine and we probably drove 1200 miles round trip.

When I had my Monte a coworker drive my Monte from IL to NJ then from NJ to CA and back to IL in 10 days time. I was using the company truck at the time and asked if he can use my Monte since it was parked at work for almost a month and he figured it's cheaper than renting and if it breaks down he's responsible, I agreed and beside gas and one oil change the Monte drove with out a single hiccup.

I try not to put many miles on my car. The farthest I drove it was when I bought the car in September which was about 100 miles from here.
