Your tow hook and your advisement if necessary.
E clips for light linkage, but they're already in the glove box.
Some say Glock. I say Beretta.
Walther PPS. That's how I roll.

I always carry along one of those emergency batteries for start assist (Wallmart brand) so that I don't have to wait for a boost, just in case.

A credit card and a smartphone so you can post on rennlist if your car dies.

Might be good to know the ph#'s for a few guys on your route if need be!

See you Friday night! What's your eta?

Fraggle,

I'm leaving on Friday morning, probably around 10am - wife is coming along, so I know I'll have to make at least 2 stops. Hopefully 3-4pm I should be at the hotel (that's the meeting point on Friday, or am I missing something?).

Honestly - cash/credit cards, AAA, a few fuses & relays and a cell phone... (spare & inflater).

Rabbits paws are optional... 500 miles really isn't that far...

Had my car 11 years - driven almost every day - added 80,000 miles - several 2000-3000 mile trips lots of 600 miles trips - never let me down. Worst issues were a few battery failures...

You should have fun - once a car is in good condition the best thing you can do is drive them

Alan
