Finally going to put my bird on the highway  Just a trip from Birmingham to Montgomery (90 mi) and back, but it's going to be all polished and shiny and I'm looking forward to a trip longer than 7 miles!
Gonna put tools, duct tape and chewing gum in the trunk.

Aaaaannnhhh, just put AAA in the glovebox and if it strands you... one call and your ridin' with someone who really looks forward to having a conversation with a stranger! Happened to me twice - once due to a hidden frayed alternator wire - I just so happen to be 110 miles from home... with free 100 mile towing (grrrrr)... then again, 72 miles from home with a construction-zone-caused shredded tire... AAA flat-bedded me to the comforts of my home because I didn't have a spare 275/35/16 tire to put on!
Enjoy the trip!

Triple A has saved my @$$ a few times. I never leave home without it! Only had to have the TC towed once though, due to my PIP sensor suddenly deciding to quit it's job.

I've had triple A for a long time. Only towed once. We were on our honeymoon and my 79 Capri turbo died. Kind of set the tone for that whole marriage!

you know...when I was on my honeymoon in 1982 (after my 9/11/82 wedding), the clutch cable on my 75 civic broke and I had NO tools at all and was at the mercy of a small town garage who got another one for me. I think the date of that wedding and events of the honeymoon trip set the tone there too!
