Image for article titled What's Your Go-To Snack For a Long Road Trip?

I do a lot of driving. Enough driving that I think I’ve got a pretty good handle on eating on the road. The sad fast food offerings at every highway exit are enticing when you’re craving empty calories, but while it’s a lot of energy for not a lot of dough, it’s just... uuuuuuuuugggggggggghhhhh. You know? If you pack smart and pack enough, you can have a decent facsimile of a meal without the need to degrade yourself to visiting the clown or the king.

I’m just starting a 14 day 6,000 mile road trip across the country and back. I went to the grocery store last night to pick up a few staples for the road. Here are my must haves.

Beef Jerkey (obviously, right?)Clif Bars in various flavors (Good breakfast replacement when you’re running behind)A half-bushel of Fuji apples (My van’s very large center console is literally full of apples)WaterCAFFEINE (After 1000 miles in the saddle, getting up to do it all over again the next morning is a little daunting.)

So, let’s hear it, what are your must-haves for a long trip? I’m dying to know!

Ford Was Once On The Cutting Edge Of Really Batshit Taillight Ideas
As you are no doubt aware, the worth of a carmaker is only as good as the amount of imagination and daring they are willing to put into taillight research and development. With this idea in mind, I think we can safely say that the Ford Motor Company peaked...

What Was Your Favorite Car Enthusiast Movie Of The Last Decade?
I try not to spend much of my time thinking about how long we have left in the decade, but it came to my attention today that there are only 46 days remaining in this decade. Movies are a very important part of my life, and I like to...

Ferrari's Giant Key Fob Is What Ferrari Buyers Actually Want
There are many reasons to buy a Ferrari if you have immoral levels of cash, most of them good. They are fun to drive. They are stylish. The incredibly supple leather coddles your bottom like your mamma did when you were a newborn. But those are not the reasons...

The new Mustang Mach-E thanks to an accidental leak. We learned all kinds of things about the new car, including trim packages, 0-60 times, EV ranges, and pricing. We also got to see the thing without its camouflage on. It looks a little bit like a Tesla Model X...

Words Apparently Matter When It Comes To Car Crashes
Words Apparently Matter When It Comes To Car Crashes
The headline on this blog used the word car “crashes,” not “accidents,” because words matter. That is the conclusion of about how “minor changes in crash coverage can shift a reader’s perceptions of what happened and what to do about it.” To test this, researchers asked 999 randomly selected...
