How do you prepare for a roadtrip?

I'm leaving in the monring. I detailed my car yesterday, made about 10 MP3 CDs, and I've got my map. I'm gonna pack my clothes as soon as I get out of class, and I think I'll be ready 🙂

I checked my tires, and all fluids - anything else y'all do? 😛

Oh - don't worry, I'll be gone a week and am staying the night at the boyfriend's 😉
 
Make sure you have sunglasses, grab a couple cans of Amp or Redbull. 'S what I do, anyway. 😛

Eh - no glasses, I hate things obstructing my vision 😛
 
pack clothes, ipod, maybe a casette adapter, walk to car, attach music, drive away, fill up on gas before the freeway [optional]
 
why the hell would you detail your car? Its going to get wrecked driving on the highway for hours on end.
 
gotta agree, you need munchies, lotsa salt

depending on how long the trip will be, sunflower seeds are one of the best things to keep me awake and going...gotta have a cup for the shells though
 
His NUTS are on tight enough. The tire pressure shouldn't be enough to BLOW them out at HIGHway speeds though. Of course, pack a bag of grass as well.

Dude - I can do that stuff myself. I put two coats of wax on the front, rain-Xed all of the windows, new wiper blades, and If I'm going to spend 12 hours in my car, I want it to be as clean as possible.

When I return, a light wash will remove most of the grime.

I just think its kind of silly to detail a car BEFORE a roadtrip. I can understand tidying up the inside, but the outside? I would just give it a full cleaning once you get back
 
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a saltshaker half-full of cocaine, and a whole multi colored collection of uppers, downers, laughers, screamers... Also, a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether, and two dozen amyls. Not that we needed all that for the trip, but once you get into a serious drug collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge, and I knew we'd get into that rotten stuff pretty soon

So I like to clean my car - what's wrong with that!?!!?!/ 😛
 
tire pressure gauge, I like to check tire pressure when I stop for gas. Calculator so when you stop for gas you can calulate your MPG. Pen to write down mileage on odometer before and after fill-ups. Road atlas, maps, are helpful if you get stuck in traffic and want to find a detour.

I have a question to you Ryan. As a straight male, I just want to know one thing. Are you the pitcher or the catcher?

I can't answer the question for him, but I know what you are soon to be...starts with a B, ends with a ANNED.
