First Road Trip in my 8!!!
So I am about to embark on my first road trip in my new 2009 GT RX8! Not a big deal just a 3 hour drive from Dallas to Fredricksburg TX but I am really excited! Any advice on what to do to prepare, what I need to bring along or anything that i need to know about before we set off?

Be prepared for 3 hours of fun. :icon_tup:
|
Top up your oil, and maybe check your tyre pressure to save fuel for the trip.
|
Allow time for lunch. The 8 is the world's worst car eat in while steering with your knee. (or have your gf feed you :kiss: )

Good call on the having the girl feed me. No stopping until we get there! |
errrrm, music?

We just took ours on its first trip, a little over 200 miles. I can tell you that ours was not happy with the rough road that is I-40 around Flagstaff. Our Grand Cherokee is better suited to that road...you need lots of suspension travel.
|
I drove 900mi nonstop, it was ok in my R3. maybe cuz Im young.
|
^900 Miles without stopping? Wow you must get great gas mileage to get 900 miles out of only 16 gallons of fuel! :lol:
|
Just did a 18 hour road trip up to N.C. and back. never got tired and loved it in the mountains.

You need to put together what we call a Beauty Kit for your 8. Ours consists of
1. Quick Detail-er Spray 2. Invisible Glass Cleaner 3. Gel Tire Shine Separate zip lock bags, LABELED ! so you don't cross contaminate. 1. Tire Gel applicator 2. Glass Rag 3. Detail Rag 4. Wheel/Rim Rag 5. Oil Rags Don't forget your California Duster or equivalent Have Fun! ;) |
The rx8 is a great road trip car. I bought my car out of state and drove it 9 hours home and it was actually really comfortable and I had no complaints. Good luck and have fun.
