Planning a road trip
Alright, Well Im justplanning a trip down to disneyworld with the fiancee for a a few days or so, Im driving down from southern Ontario Canada, One way to Florida is approx 1100 miles, so round trip in total will be around 3000miles which is close to 5000km, My car is very well mainted, but what are some preparation tips that I should consider for this type of driving
I have brand new tires
Suspension
rack pinion
water pump
power steering pump
supercharger
tranny
Is there anything preventative that I should also consider before heading off, I know that I will probably change the oil. tranny fluid, and Im thinking thats about it, let me know how you guys prepare for a long trip

Windshield washer fluid and an extra bottle just in case.
Loose change in case of toll somewhere.
Bag of mints, better than water on long trips.

Check your oil at every stop and call us when you there.
Seriously, though. Your list looks pretty good. Check your tire pressures before you leave. That can put the hurt on the gas mileage if they're too low.
I'll be doing the same thing with our 01 in the near future since we're also driving to Florida from mid-Michigan.
