Trade 4 wheels for 2

I can drive an hour or 2 without any entertainment but I usally listen to music or poddcasts about events that took place here in Sweden.

Or give it a nice swing to the left, cause oversteer, correct it, and your awake again

No music, just the sound of the car accelerating away haha, only every driven max 2 hours so far and that was in the golf.

Banned for ramming.







I never get tired when I'm driving tbh, I listen to music or just stick the radio on and complain to myself about how crap modern music is on the radio, but even when I've had like no sleep, I find that like, the thought of what can happen if you lose concentration tends to keep me awake

Music, viaration with car sound.. drive past barriers, gives the flickering light in your room, makes your eyes stress and keep you awake

I know a guy who was motorway driving overnight, his son was in the passenger seat with his window open and had fell asleep, too much cold air on his face for too long meant he had to go to hospital when he woke up. Too much is bad.

Not entirely sure what was wrong medically, but essentially he had frozen half his face.

Yeah - I had a problem with my neck which was apparently caused by the air conditioning being on all night while I was sleeping. Terrible shooting pain that lasted about a week... cold air and sleep just doesn't mix.

Drive fast, blast out Classic FM with the windows down when its busy, if you get really bored push the ejector seat button.

Mostly speaking to myself.

If you have cruisecontrol , dont use it

Long drives? Its like near 2 hours to the shops... What do you guys call a long drive?

Longest drive I've had was about... well should have 7 hours but the car broke down. So 12 hours in transit, I think the 7 hours of driving was long though. I define a long drive by where I'm going though and not necessarily the time it takes if that makes any sense whatsoever. Some places seem farther away than they really are.
