What's the furthest you've drove for a dumb or no reason?

Couple of mates asked if I wanted to go for a ride at 7am on a Saturday, we didn't get back till 9pm that night. I think it was Auckland/Raglan/Coromandel (so good, it's like the deals gap of NZ) back to Auckland.

One guy lowsided pulling out of his driveway in the morning, another took a tour through the bush by mistake and I swapped with the CBR250RR rider for a 100km (TL1000s) for fun.

It was a nice day. I miss having friends, kinda.

AWWW YES, I almost drove 600 miles just to go to Kopps, Leon's, and Paul Bunyan's. It would have been worth it.

Longest pointless drive I ever made, because every drive has a point, even if it's just for the fun of driving. I guess the longest drive was about 2,300 miles over 3 days through southwestern USA for a little adventure.

120 miles to get a Burger King, and 120 miles back home.

For NO reason? Is that distance from point A to point B or mileage clocked? Because I've had some sleepless nights just driving around until dawn for the hell of it. Insomnia is a real bitch.

Why would anyone do that to their car?

>Paul Bunyan's
Fuck haven't been there in a minute. No you got me looking at a trip

I've driven from the east coast to the west coast and back this year...twice. Why? Because I can :)

Picture always related.

Ever had the misfortune of getting caught out in a sudden snowstorm without snow tires? The fall after picking up my Mustang I drove out west to stay with some friends for the week. Got hit with a few inches of snow on my way back, V8, stick-shift, near bald summer tires. Not fun.

I once drove an extra hour out of my way to go to a liquor store. My girlfriends mum works and the one in town and would nag her night and day about me drinking.

40 miles one way to pick up mail for my buddy that accidentally went to his grandmother's house. She didn't answer for 40 minutes and the drive back was plagued with niggers driving 20 under.

Drove across IL to saint louis to get past once.
I still wonder what the fuck I was thinking.

>get past
Get pussy, rather

i drove 150kms in land into the wine country a few months after i got my first car.

Literally just so i could kill time instead of going in to pay for something my mother needed

200 miles round trip because my mom locked herself out of her car.

Tell me that you at least played up the distance you drove to guilt her into putting out more than she felt like. Nothing like a five hour drive to make sexual favors seem like less of a chore by comparison.

100 miles of intersections and turns because I wanted to learn how to heel-toe

Cloverleaf interchanges are the perfect place to hone heel-toe skills. Just sit there running the cloverleaf and each time brake a little later and up the tempo.

>braking in the middle of a turn

>Thinks cloverleaf interchanges are nothing but turns

They join two highways, you dimwit. You blast it on the exit then brake and downshift before the turn. Rinse and repeat.

Reminds me of the time two friends and I drove to portland for a day trip because two of us had never gone last year.

All we did too was go and drink at a bar. Started when we saw a sign saying the mileage to it after bowling. Just went. Was fun.

Drove from CT to Boston and back bc my friend was stranded there. 2 of my friends went up to Boston in a Subaru outback to visit my other friend when a soccer mom in an SUV flipped her SUV off the front of my friends outback. Luckily the outback wasn't too damaged, so the friend who owned the outback decided to drive home as the car was acting funny. The other friend who was with him decided to stay with Boston friend then have outback friend go back up in a week and get him. Outback friend unfortunately had his car getting shit fixed so it was down to me to go get him. So me, outback friend, and a different friend got in my Intrigue and we blasted eurobeat and shit all the way up to Boston. It was so dam fun desu

I'm also not much of a traveler as I'm always working so I can't go too far

I drove 250Km to see the Northern Lights, slept in my car and drove home the next day.

>not using left foot braking to adjust balance mid turn

These arent dumb or no reason you fucking mongs.

I drove 450km for a 1.8 TQ A4

Stupid motherfucker. After that I upped my budget with a grand and bought one in great condition.

>buying audi
>calling others stupid motherfucker
>driving 1000km for a 50 eur car

I drove ~1800km from Toronto to Brooklyn and back for a Swans concert. Bunch of ugly, sweaty geeks in the audience ruined it all

>the ford-pleb is showing his feelings
I was on holiday a 100km away from there anyway. Oh and do call a 1.8 turbo quattro a 50€ car

To be fair, we're talking about sweeping cloverleaf on/off ramps. There isn't much need for advanced braking techniques aside from maaaaaaybe a little trail braking at entry for the particularly daring. The rest is just throttle control and learning how to gradually load up the rears as you accelerate through the turn.

Why didnt they come back and get their fucking keys? Or stay in a hotel and you overnight the keys to them? Fuck that.

But that's why you have kids. For the life of me, I can't understand why anyone would go through the financial, emotional, psychological and physical ordeal of having children, unless you plan on getting a return on your investment when their of age and you can take advantage of them.

about 400 km

Drove 60 miles for some pussy

That's not a stupid reason, nor is it far.

This post is why niggers have outbred whites.

Oh, I did.

Wife and i drove 1000 miles round trip to see mountains. Got to north carolina, hiked for a couple hours and turned back. It was a blast.

This isnt a dumb or no reason you fucking inbred

About 1500 miles there

and another 1500 back.

Yeah, you fucking inbred.........that shit's beautiful, I hope you two had a wonderful experience that strengthened your relationship....fuck

I drove 90 miles for a job interview which turned out to be an open interview for a pyramid scheme style scam job, in which I was subjected to a 30 minute presentation and from which I left laughing my ass off. My first clue it was a scam? There were niggers at the office and they were there to interview with me! HAHAHA!

Dunno if this is an Veeky Forums story or a /r9k/ story..

I drove to my uni (80km) for 3 years.

jesus christ user

sometimes when i really dont want to go to uni i drive to an underground parking lot, play on my psp for 3 hours and return home

That can go either way......either you used it as an excuse to get out of the house and just go for a drive, which is fine, or you drove around for 6 hours just to make your parents think you have a social life, which is stupid, and you're leading the thread as far as stupid reasons go.

I had a baby girl, its worth it to make her smile, If it is the cost, then why do 3rd worlders have like 12 kids each.

Drove a 200km round trip to test fuel economy.

That post had a heavy dose of sarcasm in it.

>Not entering Fujiwara Zone and clear the corner at full speed

...

I hope you have a decent life, user

Cuz I wont

drove 6 hours because I couldn't sleep and was bored once, probably around 350-400km

sounds like something I would do

I've read this story before.

After I bought my first car, I loved the idea of being able to jump in my car and just drive. So I did.

I started by driving to Walmart. I was curious about what was on the other side, so I kept driving.
I just drove straight to see where I would end up.

The highway ends at the entrance of a state park. I pulled over and got out of my car. I was the only person there.
I listened to the shuffling leaves and the chirping of the birds. I sat there for about an hour, doing nothing, not worrying about anything, just enjoying the quiet.

Then I got in my car and drove back home.

Sometimes I feel like I should do it again to clear my head - to kill off some of my stress.

>driving 800km/h round trip to go to Walmart

Jesus Christ dude

im guessing but prob more then 100, less then 200 miles
through surrey county

used to do this alot in my old m3
one week i drove it everyday all over for no reason

if i got for a drive prob 60 miles

hey i did that once i end up going to a cybercafé and played all night to lol and starcraft 2 drove 100 miles total for it

>800km/h ÷ 1.609 = 497.2mph
>500 miles ÷ 497.2mp/h = 1.005h
>user made his trip in 1 hour and a few more minutes accounting for acceleration and deceleration

That wasn't that long a drive, my dude

Do it, it's liberating. Pick a road you normally drive as part of a usual route, and just stay on it, see where it takes you.

Gotta remember that a European's idea of a "long" trip is vastly different than an American's, Canadian's or Aussie's. Two hour long one-way work commutes are common place in the US, we just have more ground to cover.

>thinking you can drive 500 miles in one hour

He didnt fly a plane idiot

The fuck is this math? You converted an approximation of miles to kilometers back into miles, then divided that by the original number of miles. Let's just assume 60mph as an average speed, assuming much of this trip is highway miles. 250 miles / 60 mph ~ 4.17 hours. Subtracting whatever time spent shopping, that's an 8.34 hour long jaunt over to Walmart.....

lol nope your wrong

I drove 7 hours to our other office for a work planning session which stresses "being there is important" and then proceeded to drive back. I didn't get a sweet check or days off either though, nor the chance to shine somebody on about it either. There's a good strip club in that other city too and I didn't even get to go there either.

250 Km/h to a nice resort town in the middle of the night.

No particular reason other than the fact I could, the roads were empty. and I'd be able to drive fast.

Drove from DC to South Carolina because I had a craving for some bbq buffet.
800 miles round trip to eat barbecue and I'd do it again.
>pic related

Drove 400/800km for pussy. Didn't get the pussy. Learned a very humbling and valuable lesson that day.

About 7000km there and back to perth from the eastern part of Victoria.

I drove 150 mi, one way, to piss in a cup for a job I don't even know if I want.

we're all gonna make it user...

I drove 4 hours one way to eat White Castle
No ragrets tho

I've done this except more selfish.

How many months has it been since the incident? You made some big bucks on that retainer.

I drove about 150 miles to go to Bennigans. I really wanted a Monte Cristo and had nothing better to do. Driving from Phoenix to Tucson was a nice little trip.

988km drive, in one go, to Cattolica,Italy from Hungary in a 1996 Shitbox because the girlfriend wanted a holiday there.

It was dumb and pointless because our little Lake Balaton is every bit as good as the fucking salty sea, at a quarter of the price and without the 10 hour drive and gas price.

Told her no more of this shit, saving up for a new car next year.

Dont worry i dont understand it either. I value my time, money, and energy way too much to subject myself to that

You realize the party wasnt actually cancelled, right? They just told you that so you wouldnt show up and ruin it with your autism

Well obviously if you've already footed the cost of having a child, you have to rationalize it as being worth it so your brain doesnt implode

360 miles because I thought she loved me...

Is K tho because I tracked, and wrecked, her dad's viper out of spite (For the record her dad was a royal asshat, also dodge so nothing of value was lost)

>Killing a snek because of a girl

I've driven 550 km (1100 round trip) to pick up a pair of speakers of which I already owned a pair.

One of the pair I had had broken and I couldn't find any replacements anywhere. I regret nothing, they're great speakers, pic related.

>months
it's been almost three years

I take random night drives. Probably cover like 50 miles every time at least. I guess that isn't that far but over time those trips add up. Just blast retrowave and drive around.

The beach is the most overrated vacation destination ever. Salt, sand, sunburn, tons of stupid locals and tourists. No places to park.
>t. floridian

Unless you are fishing or scuba diving freshwater trips are infinitely better. Girls always have the worst trip ideas that they get from movies and instagram.

60 miles for an escort who cancelled my appointment. Had to drive 120 miles in all. Then 80 miles round-trip when she rescheduled.
