I make terrible company on a roadtrip.
I'm one of those people who instantly nod off, which bothered my father a great deal. Every time I began packing up to make the 5-6 hour trip up to university, he'd get all excited about how we'd be going on a road trip, and we could have all sorts of fun conversations as you can on those extended trip. And every time, he was disappointed almost immediately as I fell asleep. It confused him too, as often we'd be leaving right after breakfast, yet having just slept 8 hours before leaving did nothing to stop me from passing out by the end of our road two miles in.

It's awesome for me though, as it seems like long trips take no time at all. I recall flying across the US from NYC to the Grand Canyon, with several bus trips involved along with the flights. Each time I got on a new vehicle, I'd stay awake long enough to flash my ticket, and pass out again. 16 hour long trip went by like that...
