Driving to a family reunion this weekend....1,000+ miles round trip. What do I need?
I have spare belts, plugs, filters, oil, brake pads, clutch, tool box, complete set of tires, Rear Main Seals, etc.
I also have a set of towels in case I encounter rain and can't get under cover in time. I know time is of the essence....I only have precious minutes before the car must be dried.
Extended mirrors have been installed in case I need to back up. I don't have park assist so things might get dicey if I have to park "nose in" at a restaraunt.
What am I missing?

Well,...
How about a bracelet on your arm with your blood type, known allergies and engine oil type?
Stick two Baby On Board stickers on the car.
One one side of the rear bumper put a stick "Student Driver". On the other side a NRA sticker.
Be sure you file a flight err drive plan before you leave.
Take loaves of bread to use for bread crumbs so you can find your way back again.
And just in case if all the above fails, be sure your will is updated.
Oh, and find your sanity before you leave.
Sincerely,
Macster.

that list sounds like what I used to take on Offroading trips when I had a Hummer. Good to know you are joking about taking that many things for a 1k mile trip

Family Reunion? Ear plugs and a 1.75 liter bottle of Tito's vodka. Candy for any little kids, cash for the teenagers. You will wash your car before you leave, and after you return.
Pretty much covers it.
