3K mile trip upcoming

So we're heading to a family wedding and will be traveling approximately 3K miles all said and done. Initially I thought we'd simply rent something like an impala or such but recently I've been entertaining the idea of just driving the 95 wagon. The car is butter-smooth on the highway and gets decent fuel mileage. It still turns heads as it's still a sharp car! So...

I'm not sure if that would be a good idea or not. The car has 146+K miles on it. It's not an oil consumer, but it's never had a water pump or fuel pump replaced. Nor a starter. Not sure if I should be concerned being stranded along the interstate at 3:00 AM with wife and my two teens. It's due for a tranny drain and filter change. I can do that.

My thinking is why not spend the rental car money on some PM items and drive it. The car has many many life/miles left so why not? Open to hearing some thoughts...
