A little bit off topic, but who here has the record for the greatest distance driven while under cruise control. I realized that I drove home this morning and did not break cruise control from San Ysidro to Santa Ana (100 miles or so). CC performed wonderfully

Well, I might be close because I just drove from CA to TX and there is the infamous stretch from El Paso to San Antonio. Talk about CC driving

I had cruise control on for a full tank of gas all the way through Montana, about 540 miles.
PS. I would not recommend this drive to anyone. 70 mph for 8 hours on straight roads. It gets kinda old to say the least.
