    Default road trip in a genny?

    ive only driven my car to work and what not which is like half hour or so tops at a time. im thinking of taking a road trip this summer to florida with my friend to go to his parents house. i was wondering if anyone has driven there gc long distance and if its just as comfortable after hours as it is for short trips lol. i drove my friends tib from jersey to myrtle beach last year and my legs hurt after about 2 hours in lol.

    I drove my GC 10 hours straight in January & 2 days later I drove it 7 hours straight, both times, stopping only for fuel.
    I didn't have any issues. Neither did the front or rear passengers.
    The ride was good, the seats were comfortable, the sound system was great.
    I'm sure you'd enjoy your trip.

    I've gone about 11 hours in the car, handled it well but my arms hurt.. Thats just because I have to sit so far back inorder to fit my legs in and there is no Telescopic wheel.

    Cant compare Tib long distance to Genesis. Genesis is WAYYY more comfortable.

    Yep I did about 8 hours in the Genesis a few weeks ago on a trip down to West Palm and despite the long distance I was pretty confortable. I just got tired but that has nothing to do with the car hehe. Oh yea and make sure you have pleanty of snacks.
