Recently, I went on a long trip from San Diego to Las Vegas in a tiny little Prius c. Me and my friend opted to take his car because of the MPG and ease of parking. Well, I got to tell you that it was an experience that put me out of commission for about 4 days. Sitting in a chair that is low to the ground and your knees slightly bent or extended really stresses your back muscles. There were a few cars I had in the past that gave me problems and they were all little bitty cars like my old Saturn SL1 and Nissan Sentra, but when I upgraded to a larger vehicle such as a SUV where I can raise the seat to near chair height, my back pain was alleviated.
So for the long weekend, I stayed home, lying on my back taking 500 mg of
motrin.
It's been a while, but that trip reminded me why I got a larger vehicle. Avoiding what causes back pain is totally worth the extra money on paying for lower mpg.
