Ever slept in your C6?
I know, this is :willy: :ack: :crazy: :crazy2:. 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.

Not IN my Callaway Centennial GS Vert but beside it in garage no less than a dozen times. Wife has suggested I just move a cot out here. BUT.... If I was going to, where you did sounds pretty cool. Especially on ocean. That would be a memory only Alzheimer's could rob me of.

I crashed in mine for a few hours in Vegas waiting to check into my hotel room. Not too bad...
|
not overnight
|
napped at a rest area in NC on the way back from my one and only road trip to see my Dad before he left us.... 2 hours.. not bad....
|
You are pulling my chain right?
|
If I drive between NJ and Florida without a full overnight stop, I usually pull into a motel parking lot and take a one to two hour snooze.
|
Nope.
|
One time. The lane markers woke me up. :eek:

"Ever slept in your C6?"
Just once briefly....then I decided I should stop driving and get a room for the night. ;) Joking aside, I've slept in worse places. If circumstances called for it I could sleep in the Corvette. |
Here I thought this thread was about something else, like with someone. And yes, that's possible too. :D
|
Depends on what your deffinition of "sleep" is? :rofl:
|
Drove to see DSV after work one night after work and drove home was about 12 hours of driving dinner and bs and buddy did some driving for me while I slept in my new DSVettes cover leather, Alcantra seats :)
|
I had a 1977 Olds Toronado once. That was a sofa on wheels. The Vette? Couldn't sleep in it if i tried. I need a shoe horn to get in and out of it.
|
Yea, I snoozed back there for a few hours while attending the Rolex 24 last year (had to miss this year's race, darn it). Stretched out in the back area the way you described.
I was so tired, I could have slept standing up. There's so many homeless people near the Daytona Beach area, I would not think of doing it there. |
When I took my Road Trip last year I slept in my GS at a rest stop for about 2 hours. I slept in the drivers seat, It was ok for the short time. I had gotten very tired and decided to rest a bit!!!
|
I want to die like my Grandfather in his sleep. Not screaming like the other people in the car with him...
|
I slept curled up in the back of my vette once. I loved it!!

|
Never for a night but sometimes i'll go catch a cat nap over lunch.
|
Yep for 4 hours in my GS convertible.That was after 3 and a half days of being awake .2500 miles to Flint Michigan in my Chip Foose Ford Flex then 2500 miles back in my 2012 GS convertible.Had no choice cuz I think my eyeballs were rolling up into the top of my head.Best trip ever. :)

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. :D

I hear ya, Hahahahahahaha Sorry it caught me off guard |
Only on the interstate. That's what cruise control is for.
|
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 figured you would be the type to sleep in your car with a dog. err Dog's? :thumbs:

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. |

Stalking behavior is not only against Forum rules it is against the law. Do not do it again. Fair and final warning.
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. |
Only when my wife is driving when we are on a trip.
