    POLL: Have you ever slept in your VX?

    OK, how many of you have ever slept in your VX? Just curious and thought it would make an interesting poll.

    I've only slept in my VX once, upon my arrival to Reno. When I got here, the Street Vibrations weekend was in full force, and every, and I mean EVERY single hotel was booked. And I was so tired, I just parked and crashed, I couldn't even recline my seat because of all the crap I had in the truck.

    I had to spend the night in the back of my VX with my Doberman on the side of the road in Moab. My thoughtless roommate gave away our camp site before realizing I was going to stay an extra night. ALL the camping sites were full and I didn't want to mooch of anybody involved in the ZuZoo. Finally got to sleep around 3:00 a.m. Green Dragon has a nice sleep quarters in his VX - check out his gallery!

    Slept in the Proton on my way back from Modesto after purchasing her. Right on the cali/nev border.

    Several times. I found if you remove the headrests on the rear seats they lay flat. Put the feet up on the arm rest, good to go.

    Its no Serta, but not uncomfortable either.

    Yessir.

    I drive across the Rocky Mountains (270 miles each way) every week to see my daughter, and after an 18 hour day, at 11,000 feet with little oxygen at midnight...the VX looks like the Four Seasons.

    Cool

    Depends on your definition of sleep... I've slept with my wife in the car but I've never actually fallen asleep in the car...

    LOL, I was waiting for someone to say that...must have been difficult on the Recaros...unlike my old Chevy Malibu's faux leather bench seats. :_drool:

    I have yet this in the VX myself...

    I sleep in mine all the time on campus. I have a 3 hr break and sometimes I will bring a chick back to my car to watch a movie and use the flat back-seats. Ok, ok, so that was only once, but plan to do it again in the near future.

    The front seats were to restricting and my backseat was removed so we 'slept' on the floor.

    I've removed my back seat. For my last trip to Moab (with the two dogs) I cut a memory-foam mattress pad to fit the back compartment. Comfy AND sound-deadening!

    I'm a hair under 6' tall, so it wasn't a perfect fit, but as has been said: better than paying for a hotel for a few hours.

    When I head north to the upper peninsula of Michigan I usually just sleep in the passenger seat with iot reclined all the way back (rear seat is removed) without the steering wheel in the way it works fine and I can leave the window cracked for a little of that clean fresh air.

    Life in the Bee

    With two full time jobs I take short naps in my bee during lunch breaks and between my night and day job.. I actually have time between my day and night job for a shower and two hours in my bed.... And I have to throw in on the "sleeping" with my ex once and a friend a few times with the back seat down... It's not bad but I wouldn't mind my old Astro or the 4runner for activities like that
    also... As has been stated, I went camping and the back seat flat with my legs on the arm rest... Perfect
