Anyone travel a long distance in the States by car?

I'm not flying because I need to take all my belongings home [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] (you guys must get the picture). Actually, I guess I won't be doing the drive yet I'm going to fly home then after everything is said and done I'm flying back here to get my car and the rest of my stuff. All the info that has been posted thank you very much it's going to definitely help when I make the long ass drive.

are you putting your stuff in storage? how long till you get back to pick it up? btw, i think you want to talk about this. It would have been easy to get the driving info without bringing up the wife.

Driven between MA and CO several times, most of them straight through without stopping, its about 2150 miles. I would not recommend this however, the time saved not stopping is wasted in recovering after arrival.

As far as driving through CO and WY this time of year, I wouldn't recommend that either if you can avoid it due to the high probability of bad weather.

I haven't driven as far as you're going to, but I've driven from Chicago to Austin a few times. Here's what I've learned:

1) Don't eat big meals. Eating a burger and fries is horrible for your energy level. Eat some fresh fruit or healthy snack food like every hour or two. Apples, bananas, berries, whatever. Get some Odwalla energy bars.

2) You'll need some caffiene. The problem is that caffiene is a diuretic. If you keep drinking coffee or soda, you'll keep having to pee all the time. You don't want to drink anything if you don't need it. The solution is to eat dark chocolate. It has some caffiene without the excess liquid.

3) Don't jerkoff. Ali's friend is dumb.

4) Wear earplugs. The constant road noise gives me a headache after so many hours, which makes me feel more fatigued.

5) Make sure your car is in good shape. Change the oil, check all the fluids, and the tire pressure.

6) The day before the trip, get a deep tissue massage. It will totally loosen up all your muscles, especially in your back, hips and shoulders. You'll feel great, and you'll be able to sit for a longass time without getting sore.

If you haven't got a satellite radio in your car yet, there's still time. No better time to explore all those channels than a multi-thousand-mile drive.

I guarantee that in the time it takes you to make that drive, the E! channel will do at least one "True Hollywood Story" about a porn star.
