Default Driving to Long Beach this weekend...

It's my first time taking my baby for a long drive. What should I do to get my babyZ prepared?

if your car still have OEM bumper, you don't have to worry about rock chip yet.

Just drive and enjoy it.

check your engine oil, tire pressure, coolant... use a front bumper mask

if you are heading down I-5 "cheap" place to refuel is by bakersfield.

enjoy the drive!!!

Just watch your right foot...It's VERY tempting to stomp on it especially if you take I-5 Be safe & have fun!

If you want to use a bra, this is on craigslist. That's the cheapest I've seen a bra go for.
