    Haha, that feeling when you first wake up and are sitting in the drivers seat, look out your window and are like, "WTF I AM ROLLING BACKWARD!!!" and hit your brakes.... only to realize that the guy next to you was actually pulling forward.... time for some more coffee.

    One of the reasons I could never team with anybody is because I like to yell/hoot and holler/act a fool at the song on the radio or whatever while going down the road to amuse myself. They'd think I was nuts, which I might be.

    Just make sure you always eat something when drinking lots of caffeine.

    Same here, I love singing really loud sometimes just to keep on driving.

    When you start slowing down and freaking out because there's a light "in your lane" late at night only to realize it's just a driveway light from a house. Yep did that couple of times. That's when you grab yet another mt dew, slam it, floor the truck, and roll on!

    Yes that is a really good point . I have done it many of times , it will be midnight or a little later . I will go in get a coffee and two red bulls , and now half way through that second redbull a couple hrs later you start to feel shaky a little bit.
