Jibs Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 Who traveled the furthest to and from the show? I know a lot of you traveled from far away, but how many miles each way was if for you guys? I know Austin came from Minnesota, McBrat came from Iowa, Snowman and Northguy came from Alaska, and those guys from Arizona too, so how many miles did you clock? I came from Reno, Nevada and back so that was 1721 miles round trip. The brat hit 200000k miles too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSubaruJunkie Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 1500 miles for me, round trip. The RX hit 165k and then 166k -Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthWet Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 Wow, I think I was in it right up until the guys from alaska came in. I'm looking at right about 35 miles each way. I was going to suggest a conterpoint of who had the shortest drive... but Scoobywagon and XSNRG probably have me beat by a couple of miles.

NoahDL88 Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 I'm 8 miles round trip farther than the guy from Chukau**** but as i didn't drive i'd be willing to cede the trophy to him. however next year, i'll have two cars, i hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northguy Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 Noah, after I took a couple of wrong turns, and went looking for a fan belt in Prince George, I ended up with 2500 = miles, but Kelly has me beat with the round trip mileage. However, the return part of his trip technically is a business trip (hauling body parts for his employer and getting paid for it) so the award would be best awarded to the guy from Texas. I'm 8 miles round trip farther than the guy from Chukau**** but as i didn't drive i'd be willing to cede the trophy to him. however next year, i'll have two cars, i hope.

TheSubaruJunkie Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 Yeah it seemed Kelly was on the lookout for a nice, rust-free Subaru to take back to Alaska. When is he expected to return? -Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northguy Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 He's looking for one for his boss's daughter. Yeah it seemed Kelly was on the lookout for a nice, rust-free Subaru to take back to Alaska.

RenaissanceMan Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 Ok so I just did some calculating out and my round trip total will be 2530 miles... in a GEN 1 BRAT. But I guess it doesnt really count cause I went all the way up to Bellingham, and Mount Baker and stuff... and back down along california 101 on the coast. if you took all that out and just had my distance from atascadero, ca to shelton, wa... it would be somewhat more like 1900 ish.. -Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnW Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 I just got back but we did a detour to see Yellowstone. I had the title for WCSS3 and I am quite content to never get the title again. Love living in Denver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Temperature at the Ranch (elev. 6400') when arriving home at 10 PM: 74F (very unusually high)..ugh again:( . Gas mileage: ranged from about 24 to 30 MPG. Times I said, "Boy, those restrooms are nasty": lost count at 10,000 Number of times I had trouble with my 23 year old car on the trip (not counting body damage and losing/recovering various parts while offroading:lol: ): 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XSNRG Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 I logged about 150 miles...but...that was three trips! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkster58 Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 ummm 3 x burgermaster trips equals 150miles????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hondasucks Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 I dunno where the show was exactly this year, but it woulda been a lil under 2200 miles if it had been in Portland, round trip. It's 1198 miles to my house in Albany from here.. Wish I coulda made it, sorry I missed the crab, I love crab! lol guess I'll just hafta go up to Alaska lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuBrat84 Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 The guy from Sierra Vista should be putting in for somewhere between 3500-4000 round-trip when he gets home! Texas would have him beat though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subieman Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Times I said, "Boy, those restrooms are nasty": lost count at 10,000 HAHA! yeah I can vouch for that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subynut Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 Ah ha! That's where this post is. Ok. Milage when we left home: 215858 Mileage when Suby died in Beatty, NV: 218659 Suby drove about 2800 miles, she got towed about 640 miles. Total: roughly 3440 miles. That's some miles for a little Subaru that sees maybe 200 miles in a week! Carnage was a dead roo and a rattled apart muffler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subieman Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 Sorry to hear about your subie problems Ted. But 2800 miles is a good run for an older vehicle. I hope you get the problem solved. As soon as I got home my axle blew up. Figures! It was good to meet you and Dave as well. Oh and my miles traveled was maybe a few miles less then NV Zeno... around 1300 roughly.
