Roadtrip!!
 

First roadtrip in the 370 is upon me! Tomorrow I'll be driving from Stamford, CT to Washington DC and back. It's about 270 miles each way. I'll finally pass the 1200 mile break in mark. Any comments or suggestions before I go at it?

Drive safe:tiphat:

that's a fairly short road trip :P

standard road trip gear, pint of oil, tire pump/guage, some mf + QD, and if you're in a quietionable area of gas quality a bottle or 2 of octane booster.

:iagree: you're not being a hero by driving like an idiot

Thanks! mf? QD?

Yeah that is a fairly short trip. I drive about 150 miles a day in my z.

My normal commute is under 2 miles roundtrip :o

Would you guys recommend taping the bumper/hood for this trip?

Taping?
 

No. Good coat of wax. PS: I just returned from a 6095 mile road trip to the Pacific Northwest. I Plan on Ark in Nov. (fall colors).
OH! Most importantly! Stay off the Interstate as much as possible and enjoy the drive.
Be looking for a report.

Unfortunately there is not much else but congested interstate between CT and DC..

Congestion
 

Perhaps take a different route on the way back. I was in CT one fall. Magnificent!

mf = mother fkrs... jk microfiber towels

QD = quick detail

i used it for when i got bird crap or bugs on the headlamps.

guess i should have mentioned get a coat of rain-x on your windows. DO NOT use the QD on your windows lol... i usually spray a bit of the washer fluid then use a different mf towel to clean up any bug guts from the windshield.


as texas mentioned a good wash and wax prior to leaving will help make your after-road trip wash easier plus look sexy during the drive :driving:

Ready to go!

Ah, hell, tape the whole thing!

You sir, need a clear bra!

Just got back. 540 miles in one day and I can truly say this car is an amazing cruiser. Averaged 27mpg and 59 mph. No issues at all. Hit the end of the break in period and really enjoy getting to play above 4k rpm. Also got a lot of good attention. Really enjoyed the day even though it was 95% interstate.
