Is this the worried old women website. The Porsche 911 is not a fragile exotic. It is a tough ***** that made its' name in ENDURANCE RACING. The energizer bunny that just keeps going really aspires to be a Porsche. Five years ago I moved to the Philly area with my 100,000 mile car. I've made ~125 1200 mile road trips since then. I'll hit 250,000 miles this month. I just follow the service schedule and change belts every 45,000 miles. I was stranded once when the alternater went. The only thing worth bringing along is a radial tire repair kit (a reamer, some glue, some plugs) and the air compressor. I have a 160 gig ipod (music, podcasts, CME lectures), a 2 liter carafe w/coffee (I roast my own coffee, Starbucks won't do), and a cooler with some fruit. Bottom line, the car won't break if you drive it. In fact, it'll be happy.

I always have only 2 things: the "famous" DME relay and a string to be able to open the fuel access door in case the cable brakes off when you pull the button to open it...
Enjoy your trip!
Enjoy your trip!

Put a hot chick in the passenger chair. Blondes do a good job. Bring some good CD's. Some 80's stuff goes well. Bring some snacky cakes and some red bull.
Drive safe.
Drive safe.

I'm feeling better already; I was starting to think I was a real slacker.
And I've always carried the tire plug kit; leftover from my motorcycling days.

+ a 12 pack of Swiller Lite and a Trinidad Robusto for when you reach your destination!
