So I'm taking a roadtrip in my 91 accord next thursday from LA to vegas, which is about 260 miles away in my car with 202,xxx miles. Some people are worried that my car might have problems with the trip, but two mechanics told me that my car should be fine. Im gonna inspect my car before i go to make sure everything is good, what should i keep an eye out for?
So far on my list is: Fluids, air pressure, radiator hoses, battery, brakes, and not sure what else.

 

windshield wipers cleaning properly! have a safe trip bro!

 

sounds awesome, check all that and oil!

 

i thought there would be more stuff to look out for

 

As long as your maintenance items are up to date, then you should be good to go.

Replace spark plugs, dist. cap, dist. rotor, air filter, change oil if they are due. Check coolant level.

Check tire pressure. Make sure that your spare tire has proper pressure if you get a flat on the way.

 

lol, no spare tire in my car.
fix-a-flat ftw

 

Fix-A-Flat does not fixes a blowout, only small leaks. Do you have a full size spare to throw in? That's what I brought with me to Florida, otherwise you have to find the nearest repair shop because you can't ride a spare forever (or above 55 mph)

 

i actually dont have a full size spare.
so i guess my other option is the tow truck service that comes with my car insurance.
