I've done some marathon drives myself, including back-to-back 818 and 888 mile days on a motorcycle, a nonstop 22 hour, 1100 mile trip from Salt Lake City to Chihuahua, Mexico, and a nonstop 1350 mile trip from Ft. Davis, Tx to the Bay Area when I was 63.
But, let's face it. Those kinds of long trips are insane. If you want to live to drive tomorrow, you'll follow Slowmover's advice.
