:screwy:

Anything over 14 hours in one trip is insane.

I've always wanted to go to Wuste, but it never works out with my schedule. We'll see.
Shoot in the right car a long drive is easy. I did Kansas City, Missouri to Olympia, Washington with only one stop besides gas and drive thru's and my cooler for all food. No passengers so I was the only one driving too. Heck my only stop was for a 3 hour nap in the walmart parking lot. That Audi A4 quattro was the best road trip car I have had. Don't think it would be quite as easy or nice of a trip in my 81 diesel caddy. Sitting that upright in a rabbit truck and such small spaces might be a bit much to ask.

I'll trade you my list.

__ Install air ride into a Eurovan. (There is no kit for this car)

Might as well detail the outside when you get down there. Unless you plan on getting some sort of bug protectant. I hear the Griots stuff works really well. Way better than blue tape.

I'll do a detail here and then clean the car again once I am down there. After last years trip down the car wasn't too dirty.

And I got a awesome deal on a rear big brake kit yesterday, so that is now added to the list as well lol.
