take the wallet out of yer back pocket.. it very well might help

Why would you keep your wallet in your back pocket? That would be super uncomfortable, and make it really easy for someone to lift.

I'm a little sore if I've been driving ALL day, but not too bad, and it goes away very quickly. I once bracketed the continental US on a road trip as the only driver. About 10,000 miles in four weeks.

My record is 24 hours behind the wheel, but I am NEVER doing that again.

Yeah it can. You need good lumbar support and I also find that if I can get the front of the seat down as far as possible, with the back of it up (so, opposite of lounging), it helps a huge amount. This likely isn't possible without power seats.

It's funny cause in some forum's, people bitch a storm if someone makes a new thread about a previously discussed topic and you see posts like "use search". And in others you see people complain if they use search and require more info which of course means they need to post somewhere. could yield negatively in either way.

I need a psych to help me make sense of you people. Yes I mean you people..all ya alls.

If it's been more than, say, 3 months, start a new thread.

Some people are just unlucky enough to develop back problems. I know quite a few people with scoliosis. My shoulders and neck are rock hard, but I've never had back issues enough though my job restrains me to 90% sitting. I never had back issues driving, no matter the car.
