Positions in the Celica Options

[BlackCelicaGT94]

So I had to sleep in my celica on Saturday night and I found 3 ways - Anyone got any other ideas??

I actually caught myself thinking "I shoulda got a 4 door car" lol cuz it was not comfortable


Position 1 - Seat reclined back, steering wheel lifted all the way up, seat moved all the way back


Position 2 - Front seats moved all the way to the front and laying across the back seats. This was not comfortable due to the fact that in the middle it is raised and hits ya right in the side

Position 3 - I have a sub in the back mounted to the right passenger backseat so I put the left back seat down and had laid down. I had my bottom half in the hatch and top half on the folded back seat. It was cramped but was better than position 2.

I ended up back in Position 1 and was able to get 2.5 hours of sleep.

I should have just drove the 2 hours back home and slept for 5 hours then drove back out for work lol.

[BLINKYxMUNKEY]

Ive slept pretty good in position 1. Does not bother me.

[burneeed]

my mr2 is so damn small

[jgreening]

bummer. I thought this thread was about something else.

[MaskedMan]

i chose to use my passenger seat and it worked well becuase the steering wheel isn't in my way. What i did was have my seat reclined a bit, and slid back, but not all the way back! just far enough so that i could rest my feet onto the dash where the airbag is. Ofcourse i don't want to dirty up my dash, so i had my shoes off and a hoodie to soften and protect the dash and make it more conforitable. This was prolly the most conforitable position in my opinion. I also the put the top down and watched the stars for awhile, but made sure to put it back up before i fell asleep. I didn't want anything to bother me while i was sleeping haha.

I have tried position 2 before, but with the seat belt buckles stabbing me in the back, it was very uncomforitable.

Position 3 is impossible for me, as my rear seats do not fold down

[burneeed]

bummer. I thought this thread was about something else.

x2


I was just waiting for someone else to say it.

no subs/stuff in the trunk. sleeping bag in the back. fold seats down. insta bed.

[Shocker]

ive done all kinds of sleeping in my car and blankets on the laid down seat is not bad at all...cept im tall so i slept diagonaly and my girlfreind got the space in front of me.

[Consynx]

driver seat is gay because of pedals
i moved to pass seat and had seat all way back in both ways, and slept on my side-ish

[devilsden97]

no one here has heard of a credit card? Swipe it and forget it. (till bill time)

never slept in the celica. done other things it in, but never slept in it. I cant get comfy in a van...how do u expect me to get comfy in a car 3 times smaller?

[BlackCelicaGT94]

ever heard of bad credit and no one giving u a credit card? thats what im working on right now...getting out of debt and thats why i had no money for a hotel cuz ive put my whole paychecks to bills cuz my parents are forcing me to put WHOLE paychecks to it rather than just half

[hitcachi]

[j0e_p3t]

i sleep in my passenger seat.... reclined and moved all the way back. lots of leg room and sometimes i put my feet up on the dashboard.

[neoklis]

Why would you put your self in the position of sleeping in the car in the first place? In such a case I would probably have my camping gear in the car with me and do that instead. Sleeping in the car is always dangerous should not make a habbit of it.

I dont agree with sleeping it off when your are drunk or really tired because people tend to park it in the highway and lots of accidents have been caused this way. If you need to sleep and dont have a choice, you need to at least pick a nice and safe place (no danger of being hit or the car rolling down the road).

[BlackCelicaGT94]

^ i dont know if your implying that I slept in a stupid place but i didnt lol. I parked in a grocery store parking lot and then when all the lights turned off at midnight and freaked me out I went to an apartment complex.

It was either sleep in my car or on the floor. I cant do the floor!

[Culpable04]

^ wow, I bet you didn't expect all this mess.

I haven't sleep in my celi, but things happen and we don't always have money to afford the cheapest motel on the road; that's just life. That's how we learn to value what we have.And for some of us hating on this, that's just because we've never been on a situation like that, but the time will come and we'll think diferent.

[j0e_p3t]

i don't usually sleep in my car. but a couple semesters ago i had the crappiest schedule which had like a 3 hour gap in between my classes. so instead of driving home and back, i slept in my car when i was tired.

[jess_i_74]

I'll give you a crappy schedule:

8:00 - 8:50 class

5:15 - 6:45 class.

Nothing in between.

3 hours is a good gap for me.

It's good the rest of the days aren't quite as bad as that.

The only times when i have had to sleep in my car was when i was driving cross country and my car was packed full of things. So full that i couldnt recline the seat. But if you are tired enough, youll sleep in any position. And these are the times when ive been driving 13+ hours and am falling asleep on the road. I would pull over at a rest stop, sleep for an hour or two, and then keep going.

I would sleep in a car with her anyday.

[amysmojo]

I took a 30 min nap @ in my car work once, reclined in the drivers seat! I had a really bad head ache & when I woke up it was gone. Man my car is good.

True.dat

SO long as my wife approved



My olds is good for sleeping in, the seats recline way back and there is plenty of room.

The corbeau seats are great for driving, but suck for napping in, even leaned way back. And some of us are too tall to fit in the trunk-back seat area. If I had to I would use the car as a wimmin magnet and sleep with one of the many that would stop to touch the car.


Or the ground.

Position 1 with a blanket.

Always keep a blanket in your car

Thats nothing.
Wake up at 7am
830-1100am Calculus
11am-6pm 7hrs worth of nothing.
6-900pm Physics

[creis]

number 1 seems like the best, I went camping with a big group of people last weekend and a friend of mine had a fight with his g/f the last night so she ended up sleeping in my car for a night till they made up, just reclined the driver seat back, I have 7th gen seats so it made it even more comfortable. I think trying to sleep on the rear seats folded down would not work, just way to uncomfortable and stiff.

bummer. I thought this thread was about something else.

there really ant much room in the back seat for fun and games. like its a pain, and not really comfortable. dont know about the front seats but its way more visible

[jdg371]

Im got use to sleeping on no cushion stuff. its not as bad as it sounds.. especially when your in an open area.. cool breeze. and laying on a bamboo bed. great stuff

[airfron]

maybe a job could keep you from doing that 7hrs of nothing

6:00am-2:30pm i work a job that i hate with a furious passion that burns an incendiary passion of hatred from the deepest darkest part of my current job-hating soul

6:50pm-10:05pm Bidiness Management
10pm-12am Homework and talking to somewhat long-distance, kind of high-maintenance girlfriend
only have that schedule twice a week but it sucks




i've slept on the ground in a sleeping bag right in front of my cay to have my friend blast the horn at sunrise cuz he couldnt sleep in there... there is no way i could sleep in my tiny little celica for long enough to actually get rested

[rayneezy23]

i always sleep in my car with the radio and heater on before school starts

[neoklis]

ok guys, hold on a bit. My advice was general and not towards anyone specific. You have to keep in mind that I live on an island which you can drive from one end to the other in 2 hours. And as i am leaving in the middle any driving more than 15 minutes is considered a trip. So any driving cross country reasons or free time in between things does not really apply for me. Heck, 1,5 hours lunch break and I can go home, eat lunch and spend a few minutes on this forum or take a nap and still have time to go back to work on time. Its a 5 minute drive. On my previous employment the workplace from my house was a 47 seconds drive. So sleeping in the car (especially in my country) in not really an issue.

Btw, having free time inbetween things is not that horrible. You can always find things to do during that time. Go to the Gym/library or just study.

Sleeping in the car with the heater/radio on cannot be good. firstly, your battery will die out shortly. But much worst, if the engine is not started, other things can happen while you are sleeping and be in a lot of trouble. I know of a story of such a case when the wiring of the car overheated and burst into flames and the guy inside died because he was sleeping and didn't have time to react.

[IntegraSEChick]

You could have slept in the room

[creis]

^ dang....

If i got a 1.5 hour lunch i could drive home (if absolutly no traffic) eat a 1 min lunch and get back just in time for work, my commute is over 1.5 hours every day, manly because of traffic, then on the weekend its just over 100 miles round trip to see my girlfriend, not including any driving we do. I spend a crap ton of time behind the wheel of my baby. and guzzle a lot of gas.

I would love to have 7 hours free time durring the day, that would be so sweet, actualy get to see my g/f durring the week, and actualy get some things done on my car, dont complane about that at all!!

i bet the batt would die before the wires would overheat but if your pumping the heater you never know, ied suck to wake up and be on fire.

[WH95TE]

I've slept in my car and luckily im a small guy! 5'6 allowed me to put the seats down and curl up in the back with a towel since I wasnt able to drive home from a beach party.

[Mynzeyes]

female bent over the hood, guy behind. #1 position ftw.

where is your sense of adventure?

doesn't mean i won't try new things. i'm just saying bending the girl over the hood is totally number 1. there just wasn't enough knee room in the passenger seat for the female, so, we got it done elsewise.
