車中泊
의미: Sleeping in your car — spending the night in a vehicle during road trips or as budget travel.
The practice of sleeping in your car, typically at highway rest areas, 道の駅 (roadside stations), or parking areas. Popular among road trippers, van life enthusiasts, and budget travellers. Gained a following as a travel style in the 2010s, with dedicated YouTube channels, gear reviews, and vehicle modification guides. Some do it for the adventure; others out of economic necessity. Distinct from camping in that you sleep in the vehicle itself.

흔한 실수
- Assuming all parking areas allow 車中泊 — some rest stops and parking areas explicitly prohibit overnight stays
- Not bringing proper ventilation — running the engine for AC while sleeping can be dangerous due to carbon monoxide
