My X has been through a lot it got hit two days after I bought it and I had to go on TV to get my money back, but I've stuck by it and in addition to getting the body fixed I have done a good amount of mechanical work along with interior tweaks, fixes, and replacements.
Recently I had a mechanic do a complete engine check and it only had one problem (the auxiliary air valve) which is getting fixed tomorrow. It also scored so low on emissions even the mechanic was shocked.
So now I'm thinking about a road trip. My brother is getting married in May so I have to head back to my hometown of Omaha, Nebraska from Portland, Oregon. About 1,700 miles depending on the route.
I'm sharing this because I want to hear what you guys think: Is this a terrible idea?
If not, what are some things I should do to prepare the car and what are some things I should keep in mind driving it for long periods of time (something I've never really done)?
I appreciate any input you may have on this subject!
