...Pleasure meeting you, allbeit brief @ the MD Mini Meet in Bethesda a few weeks ago

As for pointers, check all wiper blades, tires, belts, hoses, and change fluids if necessary. Click IT or TICKET is in full effect nationwide so buckle up B4 Ol'Smokey issues you a financial "reminder" Other than that and keeping an eye out for speed traps you should get there with no problems whatsoever

Tire pressure and check oil frequently.

Yeah, pump up the tires to at least 40 pounds/inch2. You will get better gas mileage and tires won't get as hot (less chance of blowouts expecially if overloaded) and will handle sudden lane changes better.

Have a great trip! I drove from Detroit to Arizona a couple of years ago and the VX is the ideal long distance cruiser! I love it!
