We're always meeting up. And if someone's coming through from out of town we try to make it a special occasion to get together.

You should check your ATF fluid and if you haven't had it changed in awhile you should get it changed at least every 20-30k miles. Old fluid and heat is not a Auto Transmission's friend.

You should carry extra Coolant and Oil with you in the trunk.

Have a safe drive and trip!!!!

My car has 284XXX miles and i take frequent drives from my state NJ to FL every few months hear and there. Never has let me down, matter of fact it helped a few people with their car on the side of the road with mine.. Im seriously considering slapping a AAA sticker on the side of my car.

Just keep some spare tools in your trunk just in case the inevitable happens.

Good luck, safe travels!
