Minor problems both trips, but nothing that couldn't survive the drive. I do carry a big bag of tools as insurance though.




Best thing I carry ------ with not so much as a spare tire in the car --- CELL PHONE and AAA CARD. LOL

You just need to add a cell phone charger with car and wall adapters to the list!

One of the things I had Eric add was a cigarette lighter socket to the car up under the dash so that I could plug in a charger. On the trip to Fort Worth, I used the GPS and listened to Sirius/XM the whole way which completely drained the battery in the fall! This worked perfectly during the spring trip...

Um, er. Makes complete sense in my head.

I left out a detail... I was using the GPS in my phone and listening to Sirius via Bluetooth through the car stereo. 3 hours of that killed the battery in the phone, not the car. That's what I get for trying to write a message while busy at work!

I had yah Bryan. Greg just has too many balls in the air to focus! Plus, it took him so long to use the multi-quote, I'm not sure he knows you can stream music and use the GPS in a phone all at the same time!
