Hey guys, leaving tomorrow to drive from the Bay Area to Houston for my daughters wedding. I have taken the car on a 2 hour trip before but never one this long. I anticapate driving at least 10hours a day. My question is simple:

Will I have an ASS left when I get to Houston?

 

You'll be sore as there's only two ways I sit in the car.... Left leg up on brace, or on the dead pedal. Also, the biggest for me on long trips is the road noise doing 80 for extended times.

 

Get a small back support pillow. My hips and back start to hurt sometimes.

 

Ok will do...thanks for the advice.

Any other comfort tips?

 

I took mine on long trips often, 6-8-10 hrs+ w/ ease from DC to NYC, Niagara Falls, and s2ki meets/drives that's 3+ hours long to meet and 3-4+ hours to drive and 3+ hours to drive back home.
I'm 28 though, and I did stop to stretch about every 2-3 hrs. No problems.
Just remember to stretch every now and then.

 

I've done 10 hrs twice and over 5 hrs multiple times. It's really not that bad.

 

I'm 6-4, 235 and drove 28-hours (only stopping for gas) from Vermont to Maine.
Take some Tylenol with you and pop one every few hours and you'll be fine.
Wash it down with some Mountain Dew Code Red...that works.

 

It took 28 hrs to go from Vermont to Maine? Isn't that like 300 miles? Sheesh Russ what were you averaging? 10 miles an hour? I could have walked there faster. Just kidding I am assuming that's a typo or another Maine?

 

Get a headrest. even a cheesey one will make a difference And, of course use cruise control

 

My right knee was pretty sore driving from NC to Houston...18hrs.
