How many miles does your Z have? If it has more that 60k on it, I would recommend changing a couple of belts, such as the alternator just as a precaution.

 

11,000 miles. Not too worried about major stuff I just want to make sure I don't forget the minor stuff.

 

Yea your car will be 100% fine. Just put on a bra :wink:

 

lol


Yeah, other than the fact that you'll be adding 50% of your miles to the car (eek!), you'll be fine.


Get a bra like dfresh suggested, and put a nice coating of protecting wax before you leave.

 

Yeah def invest in a radar detector if you don't already have one. There is nothing more some podunk cop likes to do than stop somebody driving a nice sports car and give them a ticket or court date so they have to come back there.

dito on the plain states

 

Radar detector invest in one. Get a escort or a valentine

 

I just noticed your location

Worst. State. Ever. to drive through.

 

Don't forget to check your spare tire's pressure and double check that the jack and wrench are there. (Good lord, I sound like my Pops)

Good luck and enjoy the trip!

 

Hey!!! I resent that ... I guess you've never driven through Texas.

 

In for interest.

 

thousands and thousands of bugs are going to smash your front window lol

washer fluid!

 

Like others have said, I would love to see your photos of your trip.

 

If you don't already own one, get a portable GPS device with an up-to-date business database. I couldn't believe how handy these things were until I went on a long road trip through British Columbia and was able to plan out food, gas, rest stops, etc. on my Garmin. It makes travel a lot less stressful. It also does a great job letting you know how much longer you have to put up with those uncomfortable Z seats until you reach your destination.

I've done the coast-to-coast trip twice now in the USA and once across Australia, and the one thing I remember from those drives is that it makes a huge difference having lots of bottled water on hand (especially in the Australian outback) I did the USA trips in a 1990 Oldsmobile Cutlass Cierra FBI car and a POS 1986 Chevrolet Spectrum hatchback. The Australia trip was in a Holden Commodore, which was definitely the most comfortable of the bunch.

I've thought about going on a long road trip from Seattle to Mt. Rushmore and back in the Z, but honestly, the thought of my fat *** in a Z seat for 6 solid days is enough to give me a panic attack.

With that said, have a fun drive.
