Would you trust your car on a 1000 mile trip?

[SeanDub]

Yea I would.


Most of us drive our cars every day, if it can survive daily driving it can survive a long trip.

I would like to think it could. But who knows

[jpod999]

No. Engine feels like it's on its last leg, wierd grinding noise coming from somewhere (I'm thinking either the diff or the CSB), and I have multiple ball joints up front that have torn boots and are completely dry. Whatever.

[325irollin]

Yes. I've taken it on a 600 mile trip so I think a few more wouldn't be hard. Idk if I trust my bald ass tires though haha

[codytheoutlaw]

my cobalt, i sure as hell hope so. its stock and has 10k miles on it lol. my rx7, no way. the trans gets pissed after 30 minutes.

[JSanders]

Sure why not? I might need a chiropractor at the end of it but other than that.

[M.Burroughs]

I figured Rusty would have something to say about this. Weren't there some overheating problems though? Or did I imagine that?

It turned out to be a fuel pump, but yeah. It was dead for at least 6 months before the road trip, I just didn't know it because I hadn't put that kind of stress on it.

But other than that, it was a pretty trouble-free 7,000-mile road trip.

Did a 1k trip or so 2 weeks after getting the e30. New belt and tune up and shit was good to go.

[gumballer_80]

[ohiodub_99.5]

I would absolutely trust my car.... and have done this multiple times this summer...
1600miles Thursday-Monday out to OceanCity MD and back for H2o...

2 weeks later- Friday-Sunday 1100mile to Greenville, SC for EuroFest...

and my car now has 185.xxx miles on it...

next summer... WusteFest in Vegas... H2O again... Stance Of The Union, Texas... and all the others i decide to go to as well...

and i dont raise my car for road-trips... that shits for the birds

[Purp]

As of right now, no. My E34 needs a ccv valve replaced and all the basic essentials of a tune up. Also, my tires need to be switched. I rub so bad in the rear, you can't read the size of them anymore.
