Steve,
I had a family function in Austin last fall and I drove Annie down. Amy followed in the Explorer. The sun was out and a baseball cap wouldn't stay on so I ended up throwing down a bandana do-rag look. (didn't have my aviator gear then) I brought my iPod so I had tunes.
I can say I did it, but I can't say I'll do it again. I adjusted my shocks all the way soft but the ride was still harsh. I was comfortable for the first 30 minutes, but then was a pretzel. The constant wind beating made me drowsy and my wrap-around glasses didn't keep the wind out of my eyes. Maybe the worst thing was the 100 (no joke) rock chips I got on the nose. The car really needs to be repainted afterwards. Shows worse with the black paint. I don't have the 3M on the nose but I will after the repaint.
I got plenty of highway thumbs up and I got 20.4 mpg, but I will probably trailer anything over 2 hours from now on.
Just my $.02
