Maybe some of you have figured this out already, but I just learned this lesson today: When driving a continuous 700 miles in a 3rd gen Ram, don't start off the trip by drinking 2 convenience store "kidney buster" sized coffees and a 20oz mountain dew. Between the caffeine and the lumbar support in our trucks (and the fact South Carolina can't pave I-95 worth a damn) my kidneys are crying for mercy. Other than that, I pulled 19mpg at 73mph and the Ram turned over 110k without so much as a cough

 

You know, you are allowed to stop and use a restroom if you have to.

Oh wait, I know what it was. You were alone and nobody noticed when you raised you hand...

 

It's good to be home, I don't know how I survived a whole week without email and Hammer's wisecracks :P

 

I been wisecrackin' a lot the last three or four days, ever since I noticed how close I was to 5000 posts!!!!!

If I run out of wise a$$ remarks, I'm gonna "+1" my way there...

 

he didnt have to stop he had a mt. dew bottle..........thats what i would have done...fill her up!!!!

 

Best watch it Hammer, ole BadStrat might ban you for spamming

 

OOOOOOOOH! Good idea Pyro, thanks...

 

Wow....

 

I hear ya on the continuous driving...if it were up to me I'd drive straight thru all the time...but with a wife and two kids in the car with me, that just doesn't happen.

 

There are some advantages to being single...like being able to drive and only stop for gas and **** breaks. Or not having to listen to your girlfriend complain that you spend more time and money on the truck than her...
