The Tu Holmes Drive Across America..

Provigil will keep you awake nicely.

Fuck the audiobooks.  By the fourth hour you will be so damn tired of hearing that voice droning on nonstop like a nagging ex wife you will ride in silence just out of spite. 

Texas = forever.  Expect the interstate ads to be mostly 1) Knives 2) Titty Bars  3) Free 88oz Steak (but only if you eat the entire thing, along with soup, salad, rolls, two veggie sides and dessert.  Otherwise it is going to cost you $105.)

So you make sure you stop to buy yourself a decent knife (1) before going to the titty bar (2) and eating the free steak (3).   Giving you a dull knife is one of the tricks they use to make sure you don't eat it all.  You saw away at it as it cools to the point you end up with carpal tunnel syndrome.

Ok,

So here's the deal... I have been working in Los Angeles for the past 7 years.

During this time, I've been basically commuting from the east coast (Washington D.C, Richmond, VA. and most recently Durham, NC)

Well, my commute time has come to a close and I'm officially going to be a full time LA resident. Now, I already shipped one car across the country, but now, I'm going to drive my car across the country after the Christmas Holidays.

I've never driven that far before. The farthest I've ever driven has been from DC down to Florida. So maybe 850 miles or so.

Any getbiggers have to do the long drive like that? Any tips?

I expect I can do 13-15 hour day drives. I've got my trust radar detector for any state that doesn't end in "Virginia" and I've got both map and GPS, just in case shit hits the fan.

What say you getbig?

I drove the 2500 miles from Houston to Seattle in >48 hours in a Penske moving truck towing my 'hot rod'. I would not recommend that. We stopped once for a 4 hour nap and rotated drivers whenever we started nodding out. Just pick your route, use your trusty GPS, and drive until you start nodding out or you need to eat. Oh, and plan ahead for a place to sleep. Nothing worse than trying to find a rest stop after driving for 14 hours and passing out at the wheel.

Texas is amazing with how many sex industry ads and porn shops and strip clubs they have. Its hilarious. The last bastion of masculinity with a little religious repression thrown in. Lulz.

check your pms BTW lurker.

I drove with a friend from Detroit to LA. We switched back and forth as drivers and spent the night wherever it happened to be.

How many times did you boys use the backseat?
