Anyone taken long trips?

I was just on vacation and put about 1800 miles on in 10 days. Never had issues with discomfort. I have some cheap covers on the front seats, which are soft and have made the seats more comfortable to me... The a/c kept me nice and cool, and the cruise control made the drive smooth. Now I just gotta scrub all those bugs off the grill...

I'm 6'1" and skinny, drove 9 hrs straight a couple of times. The seat bottom made my butt numb torwards the end.

Here's what I'd do differently on my next trip, I get the hi-tech rubber seat cushion at Walmart, it's just the bottom piece made of soft rubber in a waffle pattern, it makes your butt wiggle for circulation.

then I'd buy the static cling window tint strip for the top of the windshield trimming the pieces to fit between the rear view mirror. All this to eliminate driver fatigue... (also I found swinging the sunvisor out to the side window and pull out the extension piece made it more easy on the eyes) oh you might want a louder horn, at hwy speeds even I can't hear my own horn

Make it easy on yourself......go to the car wash first and hose off the front end...makes it MUCH easier.
