I smoke meth, I mean, red bull is nice and all, but meth keeps you up all week. And I'd like to see a canned drink do that!!







erm..I just take a break every half tank or full tank. Let the transmission cool off, stretch my legs, eat something...determine if the smell is me, or my engine..or..something else..

RED BULL (it gives you wings)



seriously, we use this stuff at work, and it keeps you on top of your game, even when you gotten to the point that you can barely hold your head up (not that im sleepin on the job jim )
Wow, cool., I'll check it out. I bet its not too safe to have on a regular day basis though (like too much caffeine). [/quote]

Been drinking it for 3 years now. Wish I knew about it before then.



Its go the same amount of caffiene as a cup of coffe but it has a ton of sugar and other things like taurine thats supposed to keep your head clear.



Red Bull is my god.

i've driven from Wayne NJ -> University of Vermont and back with only getting out of the car to pump gas. At the college i dropped off a friend and drove off (was in hurry, had to make it back to work)



I didnt even stretch when pumping gas, i just pressed fill, put the nozzle in the tank and went back and sat in the drivers seat.



i think it was the speeding that kept me up though, i was on NY Thruway doing 110+mph in my durango, then from there got onto i think route 22 which was like a 1 lane each way highway, but it was all passing lanes, i was taking 10 cars at a time and **** .



This drive started like 1-2am. I love driving what can i say.

I have a Dakota Quad cab with the 4.7 in it. Limited to 96MPH = Sucks.



First time I hit the limiter it scared the hell out of me.

Because it was pulling like a **** then all of the sudden I was thrown against my seatbelt. It jerked the truck so hard it woke my wife up who just looked over at me shook her head and went back to sleep. For a split second I thought something broke.
