Road trip!

I'm moving with my 8 to san diego. Got a small moving company to take my stuff so I'm just taking a few small things.

Any extra precautionary measures? I already got new plugs. She's running great so I'm not too concerned. I'll take it to a mazda place on the way for a quick check as well.

Fill up on gas, check tires, and don't forget about the weather forcast! When I first took home mine I had to drive a couple hundred miles in the rain. Have fun!

Well you won't find yourself stuck with summer tires in a fierce snowstorm in SD.

Just keep a quart of oil in the trunk in case you run low on the way. Other than that, check tires, fuel up, and go. Enjoy!!!

this road trip has since ended. all of the original participants were killed at 140 mph by a piston that went through the hood of the vehicle, made a 90-degree turn in mid air, split in half, and went through the windshield hitting both the driver and passenger.
