YAY!! just made my trip with no glitch
 

I finished my 219 mile trip today without a glitch. except for the back door sticking open, but thats just cause it needs some greese. ill let everyone know how the trip back goes!! and fixed the exaust today. now its reall quiet

congratulations, always a relief to make a long trip without any 'pit stops'.

I regularly make 300+ mile trips without a second thought, mainly because of my insane maintenance level on my car. :D If something is iffy, or I am paranoid about it, it gets replaced. ;) It has probably cost me excessive amounts of money....but I can also claim I've never once been at the side of the road, or experienced an issue....well, just once, I had a fuse go out. :P Replaced it when I got home 20 mins later, fine ever since. I've driven 14k since last November. About 10-11k of that was freeway @75-85mph. :D

Vacation
 

A monthago I drove the 300TD wagon 3100 miles round trip to Canada and back.

No issues - I just want to badly replace the driver's door seal now...

yea but last time i made the trip to EIU on the way back, the shop were i took my car to get the exaust replaced, didnt replace part of the exaust, causing it to fall off. I trust my car, just was a lil nervous cause of the last incident:D :D :D :D
