10hr journey in the morning

As the title say's I am going to visit the rents in oklahoma, and it is a 10 hr drive from here in Colorado. No cruise control and my loud exhaust should make it a fun drive.
Sorry for the random thread.

I flew out and drove 20 hours home when I bought my Evo. Maybe because it was new but it was a fast 20 hours.

You started the thread.

Its not that bad. My butt goes numb after a while though if I get stuck in traffic or go a long time before a gas stop. But its an Evo, we need gas all the time.
