The Lair

I get that too, when I know I need to pull over tho is when my eyes start to shutter side to side real fast. its weird as hell. but that's when I know im at my limit

 

Same. My eyes just go out. I also get bored and then get really tired. Doing my 1200 miles KC, MO to Aurora, CO and back in one go trip I had to stop alot on the way home to stretch and get my blood flowing so I wasn't dozing. That and Mountain Dew Game fuel and NOS at every gas station just to keep me going. Got home and was out like a light.

 

Also Music at volume 52 in the stock head unit is just right to jam and help stay awake. Car seat Karaoke helps stave off the boredom and in turn the tired.

 

Yea, that is how I know I would be. Minus the smoking. The crazy thing is, most of the time I suffer from insomnia. But put me in a vehicle and I am like a baby. I fall right the fuck out!

True story, about 15 years ago we were trying to pay down some debt and wanted to move out of the city. So we both got part time jobs at a place called the Corinthian. A bar/restaurant with a package goods. The wife was a waitress and I worked in the package goods (beer/wine/liquor carry-out). We also had full time jobs here in Baltimore City.

So on Thursdays and Fridays we would work 8 hours here, then drive over to the west side of town, and work until 0200 when they closed, then clean up and typically a card game after work on Friday till 0400 or so. On Saturdays and Sundays we worked 8-10 hours at the part time gigs. We did that for about 4 years. Towards the middle part of the 2nd year I was taking caffeine tabs (each tab was like 2 cups of coffee) 4 at a time just to stay up on the way home. Shit was hard on us, but mostly me. Some Sundays the wife would be off and I would work so naturally I was driving home by myself. I fell asleep one of those 0400 morning and a car stopped in front of me and I didn't Luckily we were just drifting to a red light when I nodded off. I didn't hurt anyone and due to them trying to scam the insurance co and failing, there was no recourse or liability to me. But it could have been a lot lot worse. We gave them our notice the next day and never tried any shit like that again.

So I definitely know my limits and if I am active all day, even just sitting here at my desk, walking to and fro in this building, then I drive home after a 13 hour day, I am sleepy AF on that drive home. I am sure from the videos I have seen that wheeling takes it out of you and I suppose after a long time of that type of experience I may be able to withstand more but at first, I am gonna play it safe. If not for me, then for those around me.

 

I should try that. LOL

 

52?? Wtf......I can't get mine over 18

 

I've got the Entune touch screen headunit.

 

Ah. Makes sense now...I was like holy shit..lol

 

Yeah, eventually I want to tear down the interior and throw in some sound proofing. Would help make it sound a lot cleaner. Then under seat subs and possibly upgraded door speakers. Done.

BUT... Off road mods take priority!

 

it goes up to 53. I believe. Which is dumb. Why not just stop it at 50.

 

Opposite for me, first thing I did was audio. Now starting to add the off road mods....lol

 

Mine goes to 60. but after 52 I'm afraid the speakers aren't rated for the bass it pushes through the OEM quality speakers. Just gets distorted.

 

My Lex has the Mark Levinson tuned system. 875 watts . That definitely keeps you from falling asleep.

 

I used to have two kicker 12"s on a hifonics brutus 1400 monoblock. In my POS Grand am.

 

And doing a fine job at that!

 

You are making me blush..... stop it

 

Yea, I like it loud!! And I like music people my age think should be banned.

 

I live in Kansas City so Tech N9ne plays in here lmao
Don't worry fellas. I have Metal too.

 

I love it when a plan comes together perfectly

 

is the piece on the right under the tire just not seated all the way down. looks cocked.
