Lol Ray hit it dead on.

You have engines and transmissions that typically run very short periods at at time. Then you start driving them for 5-6 hours loaded with tools, tires and for a lot of people, a trailer. Cars are hot, seats are not super comfortable and the exhaust is loud. It just grinds on you.

First time is like a damn space walk. In 2012, I remember pulling out of Tulsa a bit terrified thinking "Holy crap, I'm about to drive this thing to Ennis, Tx."

Best thing we did at RMRW this year was to take a minute to trace the route with a highlighter on a paper map. It made navigation MUCH easier.
