Asking how you can safely pull 20+ hours awake, much of it driving on dark interstates is akin to asking how you can point a loaded gun at your head, pull the trigger, and not get hurt. Don't ask for the impossible and then get pissed off when we can't deliver it for you.
Sleep. Hell even 4 hours of sleep would make you much safer on the road. Is 4 fewer hours fucking around on vacation REALLY more precious to you than the hundreds of lives you will be endangering on your little trip?

Fine, agreed whatever. I'm doing it none the less. And theres no way I'll be able to take a 4 hour nap at 2 in the afternoon. If I could, I would. I've stated that I will not be adverse to taking a nap at a rest station or what have you during the trip.
Offer something constructive, or don't offer anything at all. So let me offer what you want. If you see a Grey 2006 Honda Civic with NY plates between KC and VA Beach, with red head at the wheel, you know it's me. Back off, I haven't had much sleep
If on the other hand, you see me, recognize krwlz, and wanna have a cup of coffee, and bullshit about the wonders of tfp... haha, toot your horn once, and flash your lights. I'd be happy to stop and meet a fellow tfp'er.
Or someone who wants to let me crash on their couch en route for 4 hours, equally as welcome to let me know now.
If all you want to do is scold and lecture me on the idiocy of my ways... Well, save your typing, because I don't want to hear it, I'm not going to listen, and that's not what I asked for in this thread.
Moving on...
