Went out to Vegas one time and decided to drive to the Grand Canyon one day while we were out there. It was a 4 hour drive there one-way, and when we got there it was actually the monsoon season (go figure, pouring down rain in the desert) so we couldn't see the Canyon at all. My wife and I both looked at each other like, we didn't just drive 4 hours to see the grand canyon just to turn around and leave without seeing it. We hadn't packed any clothes or toiletries or anything really since we had only planned a day trip. So, we ended up getting a hotel room for the night, and bought $50 worth of stuff to get us through at a gas station as there was hardly anything in the town we were in. Got up the next morning, went to see the canyon and it was so worth it, absolutely breathtaking. As far as something that happened in the car? We ate lunch, that's about it, lol :)
