Feeling paranoid about an upcoming 1,400 mile drive

Thanks for all the comments, guys. Of course you're right; it should be fine. I guess I just needed to hear it. BruceH, thanks for mentioning AAA; I'll of course have a cell phone with me, but AAA is a good idea. Thanks again, everyone.

I posed the same concerns a few months back before I set out on my 2200 mile adventure.
That trip included my first day of 950 miles, 16 hours straight in 90 degree temps. 12 hours with top down. Don' forget sunscreen, I did
I just keep an eye on the Temp to make sure it stayed steady and that my MPG stayed steady
On the way home, I spent 1 day, 10 hours straight hiking up and down the Blue Ridge Parkway and I was pushing it.
Boxster gave me a worry free trip. These things really do run
You have done a lot more preventative replacements then I did. I had the basics, oil, plugs and belt and I started at 68000 mile on the odometer. I did take a new AOS with me and tools, even an extra jack. It gave me something to think about those long hours. How would I replace this thing on an engine that was as hot as the Sun?
Fortunately never needed to do anything
Enjoy, you will get bitten to do it again, I know I am

Just take the drive and enjoy it. AAA premium is good inexpensive peace of mind and the first 200 miles of the tow is free.

The only thing that matters is being late to your own funeral, everything else is gravey! (I guess that means you were pronounced dead prematurely)

Life is an adventure and the unexpected detours can actually be the most memorable and rewarding of your trip.

One time in another car on a trip to Florida the radiator let go and I ended up in some Andy Griffith type tiny town in the Florida Pan Handle and ended up having a Fish Fry in the car shop garage with the mechanics, the sherrif and some other folks that looked like a mix of neighboring Business owners and Duck Dynasty bearded hillbillies.

You can't buy that kind of interesting experience anywhere, it was awesome.

Enjoy your trip and don't give the IMS a second thought, only newbies worry about the IMS.
