Going on a Road Trip

Like the title says I'm going on a road trip within a few weeks to the East coast of Florida to visit my friend for his 18th birthday. This will be the longest trip this truck's ever been on, and the farthest I've ever driven on my own. I was wondering what you guys would do, bring for this trip.

So far my list consists of,

Oil Change
New Navigation Unit
Tire Rotation
Full iPod Playlist
Full Tank of Gas

Remember your rest stops...don't drive straight through.

Always a good idea
Buy a map
If you think it's necessary
Good idea
A must

You'll be fine. I gotta drive from Tuscaloosa to Paducah tomorrow and it will probably take me about 5 hours.

I'd hate to clean your seats...

Sheesh... and people were unhappy with just plain water staining the seats... imagine peeing on the seats!

I like orange gatorade in the 1 gallon bottle... but not to pee in... just to drink, then go on the road side and pee out in the open with other driver's seeing me... maybe next time I'll pee out in the middle of the thruway... that will get me some looks...

Oh yeah, I almost forgot. You don't have time to practice, so it might be kinda risky. the sole purpose for cruise control is for mooning. You set the cruise, shimmy down your britches, stand up in the seat with your hind end free as a bird. Passing gas is a waste at this juncture. Have a blast man.

I was just quoting Billy Madison on that one And if it went all the way through my pants and onto my seat, that would be one hell of a pee.

I was wonderin' when one of these chillun would finally post a - "Mama let me ride my bike around the whole block by myself !" thread.

First time is a memory-maker, for sure - just make sure they're good memories - don't fek up. Enjoy.

Tissues and Napkins are always a good Idea. I keep a long 1/2" drive ratchet and the right size socket for my lugs (21mm) to make any flat tire a quick process. Small took kits are a must. Extra gallon jug of water, quart of oil, jug of brake fluid are also nice to have just 'incase".
