How the fuck do you need an oil change, tyres, and wheel alignment over that short distance? I could understand needing one of those if the trip was short notice and you didn't have time to do it before leaving, but all three are ridiculous.
Also, unless your driver's seat is a plank, no, your butt doesn't go numb.
Lol I was reading that and wondering if the op was driving a 1930s ford with all his belongings strapped to the top.

Right? Most of those are all the kinds of regular maintenance things you button up BEFORE a long trip. Windshield cracks are usually either quick fixes or fixes that can be delayed or patched until you finish the trip.
Frequent enough stops to limits butt pain and blood clots isn't such a bad idea though.
You have no right to tell me what my butt does or doesn't do.
