I drove from Wa. St. to Texas and back while on leave. On the route to Texas I encountered ice, snow, freezing rain, heavy winds from the flat land of Wyoming to the mountains of New Mexico and I would do it all over again!
The one thing that makes a trip such a horrible experience is not the vehicle but how long you go before taking a break!
If you need to use the head [bathroom for you cattle {people who can actually utilize your rights}(civilians)] then use the head! Don't keep going for 3 more hours before you're ready to burst. Stop and do your thing, get a bottle of water, V-8 spicey, or vita-water. Stay away from energy drinks or you'll crash hard from them and be worse off than before. Stretch your muscles, walk around for a minute even top off the gas tank.
When you are ready for a meal (still do 3 squares a day) don't just go through the drive thru. You need to sit your butt down and let your neck recover as so many people don't realize it but your head is constantly trying to center itself due to the motion of the car, bumps on the road, etc. That is an 11 lb. ball your neck is trying to steady for however many hours you're driving. Give it time to recuperate! Your back will thank you for being allowed to relax from the compaction it's been experiencing while on the road, as well as your legs because they've been in the same overall position for hours at a time.
I've done this trip MANY times over in 3 different vehicles and the result is the same. It was a blast! As far as my opinion whether you should drive it or ship it......it's a damn sports car man DRIVE THAT B**CH! That's what they're made for!
