besides protecting the paint as others have mentioned i would defiantly carry tools the remove a wheel and plug a tire..
No way in hell are you likely to find some shop other than a dealer that will have the tools and experience.
Without a way to fix a nail hole you could be really screwed in the middle of no where ..
Just me?
I always think of the one thing i learned in the boy-scouts "always be prepared"

RL is so funny! Moan and groan when we see a car for sale with too few miles and then talk someone out of an adventure!
You could be a real boss and just use blue painters tape like autox bros :-) Enjoy and congrats. I'm located in Marin and will keep my eyes out for you!
Wow - nice ride! I'm going to rely on the PPF, but the painter's tape option is something I will consider. I'll buy some when I land, before leaving the dealership.
If you are really risk adverse, bring a set of front and rear brake pads too.
I think the brakes are fine. The previous owner was an older lady and didn't really push the car. Those PCCB pads were like new according to their 111 point inspection.
I agree the car is meant for driving, but I know what happens on our lovely public highways literally every single time I travel by car. It is a constant dodge-fest, watching out for stuff in the road, truckers, other drivers texting on their cell phones or driving slow in the passing lane.
It might be fun but on the other hand it sounds like a slog.
Good luck whatever you choose.
Thanks, I plan to take it slow and steady. I love long drives (call me crazy), so really looking forward to this one.

I can just envision getting a flat tire in bum fu-kTexas and the tow truck driver comes up and says .
“I ain’t never seen one of these porch-es all I gots is my tow truck, and a hook..”
I carry the Renntorq https://renntorq-llc.square.site/pro...lock-tool-v2/2 and a safety seal plug kit https://www.amazon.com/Safety-Seal-K...oaAjpAEALw_wcB

Got it, just arrived from Amazon today. Great Advice. Thanks!
Just ship it enclosed; enjoy the first 2000 miles at your own pace. My guy Roy can get you a truck within 1-2 days anywhere in the country; perfect service everytime, have shipped over 10 cars with him. A+++
one bad experience one rock or stone and your drive an memories be ruined...
also like a hot girlfriend best in small doses, cross country in one go, you will likely sell it when you get home
Let's hope not. I have full front PPF and PPF in rear. Plus I'm a very careful driver and won't be pushing the car on this trip. I quite enjoy long road trips.
Yes, perhaps too "strong" a word.
It's his car. He can do whatever he wants.
But he asked for people's opinions and I think we all know what will happen to the front of this car and those rear quarter panels without a decent layer of PPF.
I dont think I'm alone with this view.
Completely agree and glad it's got PPF in those places
I regularly drive From Dc to nyc. Only a 4 hour drive. Done it 1000 times straight in every car from a Toyota Tercel to a lambo. Never stopped. 2 hours in my gt3 with lwbs and I had to get out and stretch for 20 mins
I would be the same way. Glad mine has the 18 way adjustable sports seats. I love buckets at the track, but this is dual purpose and I wanted some comfort in my seat.

Only on Sunday's on the way to church or the grocery store.
