Don't over exert yourself and end up passing out and getting decapitated by slamming into a semi OP.

The I 40 is beautiful
I drove from fresno to Montgomery Alabama with my friend and his brother for the 4th of july
Got away with changing the oil once we got back to cali, the only thi mg that happened was we blew a rear tire, but we put the spare on, up and running in about 15 mins

I love long distance driving, i personally just have a hard time staying awake

You can always park in Walmart parking lots and sleep there if you want to Ave money, it's relatively safe. Personally I'd grab a couple of energy drinks for the road just in case you have long stretches in the middle of nowhere and start to get sleepy. Pay attention to road signage specifically ones like "next rest stop/gas station X amount of miles away."

Also, did the journey in an 07 rav4 sport

If you have never tried the jack in your car, do it before you hit the road. If it doesn't work worth a fuck on a level driveway in good conditions, it's not going to do you any good on the side of an uneven road in a thunderstorm.

Just got back,

How likely is it to blow a tire or run into nail on this route or just luck?

Drove to DC from ATL last year, w/ another driver, and it went ok. Arguably, the 285 is probably more traveled than the I40 so should be worse in term of debris, but maybe we were just lucky or something.

Im not in a rush, so I'll try to enjoy the jouney as the saying goes. My concern is actually congestion and falling asleep from bumper to bumper bullshit instead.
