This is a good thread so I'm gonna bump it.
I've done about 7000mi worth of road trips (CT-NM, round trip to San Antonio, Tulsa, Austin, Phoenix 2x) in the past 2 years and these are all fairly accurate.
Traveling with my friends who are also dudes makes the 'courtesy rolldown' rule for any bad smell very important. It applies to burps as well, and is enforcable even if it is raining outside.
I wear sandals a lot of the time, then (because they haven't been stuck in shoes all day) my feet do not smell, so I can take them off when I please.
Bring one of those million candlepower spotlights (I bring a charger and my power invertor) - they're surprisingly entertaining on the road at night and useful if something goes wrong.

Thats the funniest thing I've read all week.
Which reminds me, if you need to make a trucker bomb, gatorade bottles are much more convenient than soda bottles. Plan this in advance when you're buying drinks, because if you drink something, you'll have to take a piss eventually.
