You're just getting old lmao. I do 300+ mile trips every month and never get tired on them. I drive 7-10 over the speed limit though so it keeps me kinda tense looking for cops.
Music halfway max
windows cracked
Even though I stay in 6th the whole way, an automatic would tire me out within an hour. No idea why.

 

me too..automatic gets me sleepy. Driving the rsx gets me to pay attention more to the road.

 

Man, I don't care what anyone says. The stock leather seats, especially with the heated option, are so comfy. My guess as to why you are falling asleep.

Worse comes to worse, hit vtec for that little bit of adrenaline.

 

As bad as this sounds, I text every now and then to keep myself awake. Not trying to say it's safe, or whatever, but multi-tasking like that, or giving my eyes a quick change in scenery really wakes me up. Or talking, but that tends to distract me more, because the part of my brain that's driving goes into auto-pilot and next thing you know I've either missed my exit or have driven 30 miles and not really remembering any of it.

 

Pull to the side of the road, remove your muffler and place it in the trunk. Then go back on the road. If that doesn't help, remove the header. That should def keep you awake!

 

I love long trips and get excited when I'm on them. I don't feel tired, but will get comfy.

If I leave a wallet in my pants pocket I'll actually get ass cramping... I have taken multiple 10 hour + trips to the USA and love it.

 

I enjoy highway driving/long trips. I usually go down to Philly every month or so which is about 2 hours from me. I never really get tired though as the hks/rh combo is pretty damn loud haha. I also keep the sunroof cracked and radio up to cancel some of the noise but don't mind :vtec:

Turnpikes/I-95 are awesome late at night. It is the roadways around me like the Staten Island expressway or the Belt pkwy that are killer on a car that is lowered. :noes:

 

Call me crazy, but I love loading up a USB stick full of Country music and hitting the open road with the GF. Country music is the best music for road trips.

:idgaf:

 

agreed on the country music - had it on while heading out mid-west one year haha

 

i get sleepy driving my RSX and prelude. driving my LGT or my girls SI i dont get sleepy at all. rsx and prelude are way to comfy, lol

 

i just have to make sure i have good music thats not too reptitive. as much as i love trance music for stuff like working out, i have been waaaay to close to falling asleep numerous times listening to it at night.

 

Club/trance music is the WORST to listen to while driving late at night. If you aren't standing and pumped up with energy at a night club that shit knocks you right out. It's just long and repetitive electronic loops that ease up your mind for you to crash. Which is why MDMA works so well with trance music.

 

Turn the AC full blast lol..

 

i only start to get sleepy after 12+ hours of driving and more so if it starts to get dark after a long time driving.

guess you're not wired to drive a long time, rsx or not lol

 

Pull over and take a power nap? That's what I do when I get drowsy behind the wheel.

It's not like the RSX has some special sedative effects possessed by no other vehicle. It's just a car, like any other.

 

just hit vtec and wake up! (all ricer) No because im usually jamming out really loud which keeps me awake and makes time go by. I almost fell asleep in my integra driving back from houston at 4am. Glad i had a passenger who took over for me.

 

i usually do 6 hours without stopping. times i do get tired i wash my face and grab a coffee and I'm good to go

 

No offense to OP but threads like this one are pointless and stupid, i been noticing useless threads like this popping up a lot lately, idk if it's people trolling or if they don't have common sense and just type what immeadiately comes to mind, what kind of a question is this? might as well have a thread for: does anyone have the need to take a big ass shit after driving the Rsx for a long period of time aftet a big meal? just sayin' tho

 

its in the general discussion section.. others are sharing their experiences during long road trips. how does it make it pointless?

 

If a moderator didn't knock it, close it, or lock it, don't worry about it. Could have been better suited for chat threads but it's not so chill.

Personally I would drive off a cliff if I had to keep country music on. Try singing with your music, talk to yourself, play the alphabet game, if you're not an idiot and there are not tons of ppl on the road shoot a text to someone. I'll roll my windows down and stick my face in the wind of I have to hahah.
