This goes along with the man cave, but deserves a new thread

I spent a few nights in my 86 escort between homes. Often spending the night in it between my two full-time jobs one summer.

Most difficult thing was finding a place to park.

Econoline baby! If you have to live in your car, at least make a statement.

Heck! I was ecstatic to find my '73 Celica had reclining bucket seats!
Did many a 'sleeping bag night' in that!

Those old Celicas were very good cars.

I had to sleep in my Fiat once when I was a kid. Pretty unpleasant.

I don't sleep well in reclining bucket seats, or back seats. :( I need to stretch out a bit on a flat surface.

I agree, I slept in the passenger seat of a Kenworth, it was quite uncomfortable.

I once spent a cold night in the passenger seat of a one-ton cube van on a Native Reservation, with a bunch of young Natives circling us all night in a Suburban. 8O

The cube van was a reefer unit, and it was full of frozen food. We backed the rear doors up against a building.

When I went thru a divorce several years ago, I had/wanted to spend many nights in the extended cab part of my p/u truck. Actually, once the rear seat is flipped down and you throw a few sleeping bags in there for padding, it's pretty comfy. The only bad thing about it, is that it's about 4" too short (I'm 5'9") and after a couple nights it gets old not being able to stretch out. I still rig it up like that when I take long drives.

1987 Chev Blazer was a great vehicle to sleep in, i could lay out fully ( i'm 5' 11"), spent a few nights in there after way too much to drink, it also made a great "shaggin' wagon" in my younger days.
