Hi all

I just bought a 1995 Celica for my son from ebay. I fly to florida day after tomorrow, then drive back to east tennessee.
Obviously, I know little about the car except that the seller just changed the timing belt, otherwise the car is (hopefully) in great shape. It's blue with 117K miles.
Any tips on what I should be looking for on the way back as potential trouble spots for an 11 hour drive?
Perhaps some sounds or something that you experienced folks might have me listen for.
Thanks, I look forward to learning from this and other forums.

listen to the engine and make sure you dont hear any loud ticking from it or any abnormal signs, make sure all of your lihgts works, and all that stuff and enjoy the gas mileage on it, you will appreciate it on a 11hr drvie, also make sure you hav a good seating position, the seats are so comfy HAVE FUN and make sure that your son looks around the site for tips on how to maintain it, oh and check all the fluids before the trip and myabe bring a few extra bucks if you need to top em' off
