Definitely oil change before you leave. Shouldn't need one in between though.
Opti-coat
Audio book(s)
Cold weather survival kit
Maybe even some all-season tires
Take care of any annoying rattles/buzzes before you leave!

How hard is it to apply Opticoat yourself?

if you detour thu Flagstaff of something let me know

i would just use good old tape instead of opticoat.

Applying Opticoat is very easy. Make sure the car is super clean before applying. And make absolutely sure you wipe down any Opticoat streaks (or else they will be permanent).

Dont follow close to semis, have a large selection for music, and stop to stretch every 5-6 hours, should be good to go..


Vegas is alot of fun:thumbsup:

Interstates are boring. Stick to state and federal highways.

Have a credit card and a cell phone and you're good to go.

Make sure you bring a tire psi gauge. You'll be going through some significant temp and elevation changes which will affect your tire pressure. Keeping your tires at the right psi will make sure you get the best mpg and minimize tire wear. I'm so jealous you'll get to haul ass through the Rocky Mts. in this car!

flashlight
food
fluids
firearm

dont forget your V1

An alternative route through Utah. Grades in parenthesis is my rating of the road; + means it's usually empty or two-lane, - means it typically carries frustratingly slow tourist traffic you'll get stuck behind)

I70 Grand Junction west to UT72 Junction just past the San Rafael Swell (one part of an interstate worth traveling) (A+ for the Green River-to-UT72 section; B+ for the rest of it)
UT72 south to Loa. (B+)
UT24 southeast to Torrey (B)
UT12 southwest to US89 (A-)
US89 south to UT9 (C-)
UT9 West through Zion to I15 (A-)

This route will take more time than the I70/I15 combo, but it takes you past some of Utah's most spectacular scenery. Take your time and stop at the many pullouts, it's very memorable.

I bought my FR-S in Green Bay! Some of the friendlier folks I've talked to.

If you stop by Omaha let me know!

I live in the palm springs area. Highway 74 is a great drive if no snow. Pm me when your here
