...Pleasure meeting you, allbeit brief @ the MD Mini Meet in Bethesda a few weeks ago :D
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" :naughty: Other than that and keeping an eye out for speed traps you should get there with no problems whatsoever :luck:
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!
