| Mater needs ta find himself a good pocket knife. He is always borrowing and returning. We experienced this at Clay City last time. The knife starts out like me - nice and sharp! Gets returned just like Mater - just another dull tool!

| If you have the time, a front end alignment would be nice. Nothing like fighting the steering wheel during a long trip.

Maybe new, wider tires, like a 215/60/r14, good tires can make a huge difference._________________ Annabelle: 1970 Dodge Dart Hardtop

NICE! How fresh are the tires? Any ideas at all? If they are weathered at all, maybe a new set._________________ Annabelle: 1970 Dodge Dart Hardtop

| Yeah, a truckers Exit Guide is a big help in planning food stops and sightseeing stops. It tells you all the pertinent info about what is at each exit along the interstates of America like Drug Stores and important things in case the unexpected happens.

a big point someone made is what is your route?
im here in Phx and can tell you its gonna be hot coming down this way... personally with a new car i dont think i would test it in our neck of the woods... be safe and stay at least on the 40 (thru Flagstaff and east)
never can go without a wheel star wrench...
also buy a set of lug nuts for it... sucks when there is one 11/16 on and then the rest are 3/4"... |
