What do you do to pass the time or keep yourself from falling asleep on a long drive? Drive a standard? Listen to awful chalkboard-nail-scratching music? Sing to yourself?

I find that getting a big bag of sunflower seeds passes time by pretty quick. Eat them one by one the proper way and you're golden. Just bring water too.

Think, smoke, and/or eat. That's assuming I'm the one driving. If someone else is or I'm on a flight or a train ride, then all of those, plus sleep. Before or after the others.

I listen to my favorite movies on long drives. I tried listening to audio books, but that irked me for some reason.

Audio books don't work for me, because eventually, I treat them like music and tune them out.

Loud music usually ends up in me singing the music loudly, which then takes a turn towards me yelling or chanting things over and over in silence once the music ends. It definitely passes time, but doesn't exactly help me think I'm not crazy.

I drive a lot! I have a 1.5hr drive (one way) to work and a 5.5 hr drive on the weekend to see my guy friend. I find that audio books are a huge help. Also this thing called the library is where you can find them free. I say it that way because when I rediscovered the library i was amazed and chided myself for not thinking of this earlier. I find that when I get to my destination I stay in the car for a few extra min to finish the chapter before getting out, I get so wrapped up in them. Something to try and its FREE!

1. Vary your vehicle’s speed inversely with the speed limit.

2. Roll down your windows and blast talk radio. Attempt to headbang.

3. At stop lights, eye the person in the next car suspiciously. With a look of fear, lock your doors.

4. Two Words: Chicken Suit

5. Write the words, "Help Me" on your back window in red paint. The more it looks like blood, the better.

6. Have conversations, looking periodically at the passenger seat, when driving alone.

7. Laugh a lot. A whole lot.

8. Stop at green lights.

9. Go at red ones.

10. Occasionally wave a stuffed animal /troll doll/ Barbie out your window or sunroof. Feel free to make it dance.

11. Eat food that requires silverware.

12. Pass cars, then drive very slowly.

13. Sing without the radio on.

14. Honk frequently without motivation.

15. Wave at people often. If they wave back, offer an angry look and an obscene gesture.

16. Ask people for Grey Poupon.

17. Let pedestrians know who’s boss.

18. Look behind you frequently, with a very paranoid look.

19. Restart your car at every stop light.

20. Hang numerous car-refresheners in the rear-view mirror. Talk to them, stroking them lovingly.

21. Lob burning things in the windows of smokers who throw their butts out the window.

22. While stopped at a light, **** out the window/sunroof onto other cars.

23. Paint your car with occult symbols.

24. Keep at least five cats in the car.’

25. Have some passengers in the back who are having wild, noisy sex.

26. Root (cheer, not snuffle in the mud) for firetrucks.

27. Stop and collect roadkill.

28. Stop and pray to roadkill.

29. Tint your windows with a black magic marker.

30. When at a stop light with another car next to you, signal you want to race. Then right as the light turns green SLAM your car into reverse and speed off.

31. Go to a car show with a rusted up Volkswagen Beetle, (or other crap-*** old broken down car will do) put the hood up and so people can see how bad your engine is. Try to act as cooool as possible.

32. Throw Spam.

33. Get in the fast lane and gradually slow down to a stop.Then get out and watch the cars. Throw Spam at them.

You can also buy an audio book from Cracker Barrel and exchange them like they are library books at other restaurants. Just FYI in case the library doesn't have what you're looking for.

I also have an hour drive to work and back, and I find talk radio helps me. I listen to Bob and Tom in the mornings, and NPR on my way home.

While watching "Dead Man Walking," I kept hearing, "T-t-t-t-t-t-touch me! I wanna feel DIRTY!" running through my head whenever I saw Susan onscreen in her nun costume.

I don't think it actually is possible.

I think people just like to pretend they do, though i'm not entirely sure why anyone would do such a thing.

Unless your car is a piece of crap or your really cheap. Most of us have rather good stereo's in their cars. So listening to good music is not an issue.

Pull over and sleep. Unless you mean what do I do to keep myself from being bored. In which case it's what I do when I drive in general- listen to my music. Sometimes I sing along, sometimes I don't. Oh and sometimes zone out thinking about stuff. :3

Doze off until you hear your tires hitting the warning strips along the side of the interstate. The adrenalin rush is good to keep you awake for at least another hour.

I'm talking about the music itself, not the speakers.
