Is it crazy to drive a newly purchased 914 1500 miles? If you were going to brave it, what would be the minimum list of things to check beforehand and what parts would you want with you? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

I'm the one who is buying Jim's car and driving Portland to Maine (near the Canadian border) and I haven't even seen the car yet. The route I'm taking is over 3600 miles. The car passed the PPI and I'm not worried.
Most of the stuff in my suitcase is for the car: Haines Repair Manual for 914, flashlight, work gloves, towel (all in case I have to change a tire at night), tapes (in case all I can get is country and western), cell phone, a carton of cigarettes, and a bottle of bourbon. As for tools, or mechanical stuff, wouldn't know what to do with them. I can put oil and gas in and change a tire if I have to, but that's it. So if I have a problem, AAA will come and pick me up (been there, done that), leave the car and the manual with someone who hopefully knows something and come back and pick the car up later. I'm looking forward to it! Joan A |
