For what you're wanting to do, Mario is on the right track. But since your goal is to record your thoughts for posting, you don't need to go to the expense of a recorder in the Zoom or Tascam quality field recorder.

A $29 Olympus voice recorder will do fine and most record continuously for 5-24 hours at different bit rates of MP3 to uncompressed WAV. Most have three different mic sensitivity levels and all are one button start/stop. You can get an external clip on mic for less than $10 and place it on your sun visor, turn on the recorder and record throughout the length of your trip. If you use the voice activation mode, simply listen to a song with the volume set a low enough value to not activated the recorder at the lowest recorder mic sensitivity, which is easy to do when using a clip on mic. The recorder is always standing by in record mode and will only activate and record when you speak. This will eliminate the dead time between your comments as you listen to the music. It will activate to road rage shouts so some degree of care will be necessary with your language. Best of all these units work marvously with all the voice to text software.
