I am new to the forum, and do not own a 914 yet, but I plan to fly in and drive a 914 home. It will be about a 1600 mile trip. My question is, what should I bring along? Your help is greatly appreciated!

On the more serious note, inspect the fuel lines before you do your trip. Every car that I had, the lines were brittle. Even after I were told they were good to go. Check them yourself. See if you can get, or borrow a fire extinguisher just in case. Check for oil leaks each stop. Check your oil level each stop. Take extra oil. Extra voltage regulator if it's not been replaced yet. About $50. 10mm and 13mm sockets and wrenches are the most common size needed. Phillips and normal screw drivers. Extra Alt. belt if it hasn't been replaced. Inspect your tires for dry rot and pressure, check your brake fluid and peddle firmness before you take off. Maybe if you post your route, other members can forward you a contact number if you get stuck. Good luck, and congrads on your purchase.
