I'm not too worried about not having a spare. If I can't plug it effectively then i will just have it towed. I have an upgraded AAA membership due to a blown motorcycle tire. So I think I'll be ok. I just hope that I have better luck thank my bike.

in addition to the sunscreen, bring hats. hard to get the sunscreen between the hairs on your head and having a sunburned head is no fun.

a light foot in indiana ( )

cash for the tolls. you're looking at a tollroads 70% of the way from indiana to MA.

Vise Grips, large adjustable wrench, small adjustable wrench, Duct Tape, and roofing caulk that will dry in rain. God forbid you develop a leak in any part of the cooling system, those tools should enable you to access the leak and patch it long enough to get where you are going.

I also have a bit of a preference to a portable car charger/compressor with a built in flashlight. But they ain't tiny

Sounds like great fun. Say hi to mom and dad for me. (PCA Time Trial buddies)

My wife and I are taking a 2wk/2000mi road trip in Oct. to Nevada, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Utah and home. Hoping to see extraordinary scenery and lots of wildlife in the National parks with very few people this time of year. Unfortunately the fully track prepared Boxster doesn't meet wifey's minimum creature comfort standards so we will be driving the Lexus. We may see some early snow so we are bringing chains and a bunny suit. I will bring a simple tool bag and 12v compressor with tire plugs. I will also bring lots of No-doze as I tend to nod off shortly after climbing into that big overly cushy leather seat.

Good travels so far. In 8 hours we have made it to Butte Montana. Rolling average of around 80mph and about 25mpg with mountains in the mix. I'll post photos once I get wifi again.


Od, that is my gf's dodge. One box on wheels to go.
