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?
