20 hour trip MN to TX

Hi all. First post here thanks for having me. I’m buying a 98 5 speed (my first Porsche) from a friend of mine in MN and driving it back to TX in a couple weeks. My friend is a meticulously anal person and has taken great care of this boxster. Since he bought a 718 GTS and a Ferrari the 986 hasn’t gotten a ton use. It’s gotten about 500 miles in the last two years. The tires are a couple years old and he had it serviced last in late ‘21. Car has 95,000 miles and clutch and IMS were done around the 70,000 mark.

All this to ask, am I crazy to drive this car 20 hours home all alone? He started it up for the first time this year and it cranked right up and purred like a kitten last week. Besides the phone number to roadside service what do I absolutely need to have with me? I’m decently mechanical but have zero experience with a boxster so maybe some tire slime and a flashlight?

Thanks all.
