I take frequent road trips between Florida and New Hampshire and drive straight through every time. I usually pull into a rest stop around 4:00 AM and crash for 2 or 3 hours. I stay in the drivers seat with my head rest on a towel against the window. Sometimes I have a slight stiff neck for a couple hours but I can't justify a hotel room for just a few hours.

Hell, yeah. Me and the kid (my Sheltie) make the trek from WA to AZ and usually drive it and sleep in the car. He has night farts, tho, and wakes me up...at least I think it's him...ok, I blame him.

I know, this is 
. I also know that this is why you have your (insert vehicle suited for sleeping here). I also know that is why there are hotels/motels.
This was/is strictly for fun and each of these was on a multi-day trip and only one night was spent sleeping in the Vette. The first, in my VY 2007, was about 10 miles north of Ensenada, Mexico, along the Baja, Mexico, Pacific Ocean coastline. At the campground it cost $6.00 to park there overnight. The second was last May in my TR 2011 and is at a National Forest campground (cost $0) about 10 miles east of the north rim of the Grand Canyon. Location, location, location. I sleep stretched out on my back with my torso in the cargo area on a pad and my legs going out over the console. Can even see the stars up through the hatch glass

I've slept in my Z06 numerous times during road trips.
It's not the most comfortable car I've slept in due to the limited rearward tilt of the drivers seat but it's do-able.

Black went better than the top. Bling around the plate looks absurd. Adding Corvette logos to tail light lenses is beyond words bad. TOTAL FAIL IN EVERY REGARD DEMONSTRATES COMPLETE LACK OF TASTE
Don't you dare threaten me.
