Might add a $20 code reader from amazon, tire repair kit, 12v pump and aaa card. Really nothing to worry much about.

Not much to add that has already been said, maybe some fix a flat. Ensure you have the complete tire changing kit from Porsche. And some extra quarts, er liters, of oil. Take pics and report back.

I would go with a R3 radar detector if you don't have something built in. Troopers in BC can be a bit strict.

Do you have a co-pilot?

Yes, stock sport seats, pulled them this winter and re-dyed them!

Enjoy the drive!

Problem was that on the outside tread was good but I corded both rear insides so bad they went flat. Happy ending to the story was that I put out an sos on 6 speed and some guy from the boards who lived in Denver brought me a used set of tires and refused to let me pay him anything! Just said, “pay it forward”. Something I will never forget to do.

Enjoy your trip man!

I also suggest you stop every 1.5 to 2.0 hours and walk a bit. This is an excellent way to help prevent DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis).

For peace of mind, have AAA and don't worry about anything else, lest you think too much and don't get to enjoy the ride. My P car has never let me down (knock on wood).


Have fun!
