I dont care if ac goes out, or if cruise control stops working, and I know I need to bring an extra set of fuel filters with me, but overall, with the age of the car, is there anything I should be worried about with reliablity?

Other than fuel filters, would anything else be appropriate to carry with me?

Thanks!
shortly after getting mine,we went on a trip from pittsburgh to northern maine for 2 weeks.had not a problem.since then we have moved to syracuse and the car brokedown three different times on the way.separate trips.do YOU think it will make it?The first trip I absolutely had no doubts.now,we will see after I change my rear passenger axle.good luck,take tools and as previously posted a bike is a good idea(weather dependant of course)
