1000 miles on my 5 speed celi in about 48 hours.


tire check
coolant check
oil change

WOOT VA is FTW. but don't worry my celica made the NY-Va trip many a time without fail!

Check your radiator condition, belts and other large hoses for cracks and signs of wear, or in the belts case, fraying.

check your tire pressures and lug nuts
check your lights/lamps/flashers
windshield washer fluid
bring an extra quart of oil just in case.

otherwise the drive isn't too bad.
just be careful once you get into MD the troopers on 95 are a bit crazy
and Virginia is a speeders death trap esp. around 495/95
