My daughter drove our 1982 240D stick with 296,000 miles from Connecticut to San Diego via Durango and Las Vegas, stopping at nearly every National Park on the way. Then she drove it home, through Texas to see her uncle, and up through the Blue Ridge Mtns. It arrived home with 306,000 miles and is headed to 310,000 shortly. It got a little hot in the desert when the outside air temperature in August reached nearly 120*F. Make sure the car is as good a condition as you can manage before leaving, bring a set of fan belts, some tools, and the other stuff mentioned above, as well as a couple gallons of MB antifreeze mixed with water. Good luck, and keep us posted, Jim
