    My most comfortable position is with my foot stretched out on the dead pedal with my seat slightly reclined and my girlfriends head on my lap.

    Isn't really going to make all that much of a difference. You'll have to stop every hour or so for gas anyway, which will give you time to stretch and so on. In fact, after filling up, I often allow a bit of extra time to ensure a good break. With that (a good break), you'll be well ready for the next leg of your trip.

    Just drive how you normally would and stop every 2 or 3 hours to stretch your legs for 15 or so minutes if you have to..

    neglect, mostly.
    long drives in the summer time? i'll prop a bare foot up on my driver mirror lol. you cool a foot off, you cool your core off.

    normally though i just drive leaned back just a little with my left foot either down there somewhere or propped up on the panel if it's a long drive.

    im 6'3'' and drove XC (Maine to Arizona) 3 times in the past year. i've found it helpful to drive normally as long as i can, and the alternate between having the seat ridiculously close to the wheel and ridiculously far back. it changes up your back/feet position and puts you in awkward positions to stay awake.

    I like the seat all the way back, with the back rest really straight up, and my feet all the way back with my left knee resting on the door, and my right knee resting on the gear shift. That way I can rst my hands on my knees and grad the steering wheel at the 4 & 8 o'clock with my finger tips... Also helps me from passing out.
