Default Long drives in R's

how far have you driven in the R without a break? what was the reason for the break? haha my answer would be my freakin back and pee break. I'm sure ill hear some funny stories on this thread. How do you guys with exhaust deal with this besides a silencer and ear plugs

LA -> Yosemite. 4.5 - 5 Hours (a few trips). Breaks for restroom and food.

Best part: beating the snot out of mid state I-5 ricers with 2 people and a trunk full of camping gear.

How do you all keep awake. Someone on here said he would take a 100 dollar bill and would hold it out of his window to keep him awake. I tried it but with a 10 . It actually worked.

Long trips don't bother me. The seats aren't really comfortable (I waiting for my JDM recaros) and my exhaust is just the right sound (mugen baby). My car is especially buzy on the Highway thanks to my ATS (80 mph at 4800 rpm baby)

New York City -----> Lake Michigan, ITR Expo2. Non stop 13 hours, stopped 3 times for pee and stretch which limited to 5 minutes each.

New York City -----> Mid-Ohio for SVWC. 8 hours non-stop.

The above two started after 9pm. Took some nap at rest areas and reach destination at dusk.

Might take a nap in car for some hours with Bell helmet on to avoid the .223 caliber.

Hartford CT to Miami

We stopped in Atlanta to stay with family both ways, multiple stops for gas each way and the drivers in Atlanta are the worst drivers in this country by far.

BTW I live & drive in Tristate NY, NJ, CT traffic all the time so I think I'm qualified to label lousy drivers...


A.

PS your *** falls asleep after too many hours and your left leg will tire in heavy traffic like in Maryland/DC or NJ.

I disagree, ever been to Detroit? I've driven in LA, DC, San Fran, etc.. and Detroit was the worst, IMO.
