Default Uh, probably not the best way to do it.

I've done it in the Evo and the F-150. Best thing to do is just recline the drivers seat, throw a blanket over your head and snore. There's at least some back support there, although you will probably wake up with a stiff neck regardless.

I Actually got a lot of rest with the rear seats folded down and my legs in the trunk.

Default I've done that

but it's so friggin hard to adjust the driver's seat the way I like it in my car... plus it kinda a mental thing, you get used to sleeping behind the wheel...
( have fallen asleep too many times at the wheel)
I've slept in the seat upright, or a little reclined, and dreamed that I was driving and going off the road, or getting in an accident... so I wake up andrenaline flowing, stabbing at the brakes.... must look kinda funny to someone watching...


sometimes I sleep in the pass. seat, this time I decided to try the back...
