I would try out the spare for a day, or at least 30miles to make sure it will hold and not dry rotted to hell... our spares are getting pretty old.

 

Haha that sounds like fun! I took my old FC on a 1600 mile road trip and it was one of the funnest road trips ever!!!!

 

Lol@ all of these.
Don't bring anything extra. If you trust the seven it won't fail you.
And remove your cd player.
Nothing better than just listening to that rotary hum. =D

 

I havent gotten to go on anything like that but on day 2 (of 3 befor she blew) I put 230 miles on her and had a blast.I second disconecting the radio. Cuz mine was out and even with music its still better with just that beutifull 13b sound.
go for it, trust your 7, and the best pasenger to have is that special someone.

 

oh i almost forgot if you partake in the herb then make sure to bring atleast a 1/8 of your finest.

 

I brought a tool kit, an emergency kit with food, water and blanket, med kit, CB/SSB radio with tall antenna, and a Dell Axim 50v PDA with a whopping 4GB of MP3s on it (this was May, 2006). Apart from the MP3s, I didn't use any of it.

I drove 5600 miles across Canada from Ontario to British Columbia and back through the northern US to Michigan. The only problem I ran into was self-inflicted; the front bearings weren't torqued to spec; a thirty minute visit at a Sears Service Center in Medicine Hat fixed that. Otherwise, I had two oil and filter changes. Averaged 26MPG on the highway.

Today, if I wanted to, I wouldn't hesitate.

As long as the car is well maintained, and all major parts check out, you're fine.

 

It's sad to think of all the things we need for our fc's on a road trip, a short one at that. My dad back in the day would go from Riverside California to Houston Texas straight, only drinking beer to keep it fun.

 

Oh yeah, also an emergency tool and a fire extinguisher. Still didn't use any of it. Only thing that I really would've needed in one of the two road trips was water and/or Air Conditioning (the latter I've fixed).

 

Always prepare for zombies.

 

where can i buy car gps dvd players?
is 12vcity reliable?Did you try it before.Can you tell me more details？

 

Dude's going to look like the Clampetts running down the highway with all the excessive **** everyone's told him to bring

 

might as well just forget the whole thing and take the bus

 

Lol....
Might as well just go ahead and loosen all your lugnuts.
Tighten all your belts so they snap.
Toss a nut down the intake.
And maybe, remove all your filters just for good measure.
Honestly, if you trust it to drive everyday.
Why worry about anything?
