Honestly... I have never driven further than 500 miles on a trip.
Next week, I will be driving from New Jersey to Florida with the Elise I hope to purchase (provided everything is agreeable when I get there). I plan on breaking this up into two days of travel. Since I will be traveling from mid-30's temps to mid-60's temps, and have limited cargo room (the Elise's trunk is about 1/6th the size of the 914's rear trunk), space and weight need to be conserved... Here is what I am thinking of bringing.... Cell Phone, Charger, and Ear piece Radar detector (and a list of the states they are illegal in) PDA/GPS and accessories Cigarette lighter splitter Digital camera Music preloaded on to flash card (car's radio has SD memory slot! cool!) Ear plugs Small towel Hat Sunscreen Sunglasses Lotus Club membership card AAA card Cash Car already has a tool kit in it Leather jacket Jeans Shoes T-shirts (two) Pullover Undies Socks toiletries Printouts of… Lotus dealerships Hotel Mapquest maps Sales agreement Directions to Mile's place Aluminum foil for my head. What else? |

I like to take a plug kit and air compressor when I do long drives like that.
You could also bring a pillow and sleep in your car at rest stops, rather than hotels. I love doing that. I just feels right. When you pick up a new car, the drive back is your honeymoon. Make it a drive to remember. Try to cut through WV. When I went to pick up my Nissan from IN, my friend and I took a detour to this AWESOME road in WV. It was the ultimate twisty road. Just look on the WV map, and you'll see this crazy squiggle line. That's the one. Cole (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/monkeydance.gif) |
