1. Check the fluid levels in your car. If they seem low top them off. If you haven't changed the oil recently and it's coming up on time to change it, go ahead and do it. Bring extra fluids if your car is prone to leaks.
2. Check your tire pressure and tire wear. If there are excessive cracks or tread wear, it's probably time to replace them. This goes for the spare too.
3. Make sure all lights function as intended. There's no reason to get pulled over for a tail light being out.
4. Check safety equipment. This could be a first aid kit in the trunk, wiper blades, the jack, etc.
From here on out it get's optional, but recommended.
5. If you're taking a classic car, bring spare parts. They could save your bacon.
6. Don't take 500+ hp muscle cars. They'll overheat.
7. Flush the cooling system if you do take a classic.
8. If you have an option to bring one of multiple classics on a road trip go with the lighter one. A Nova will be easier to push than a Cadillac.
9. Never Cannonball to your destination unless you can get there in 18 hours. You could get into a sleep deprived accident, get killed, or at the very least hate your life by the time you get there.
10. If travelling with friends or family, bring snacks. People tend to be a lot less annoying with a fist full of Gardetto's or jerky in their gob.
Hopefully this will help you plan your next road trip. As always, don't forget to comment and follow us. And at some point Connor will post again.
