I hoping on a good, long 2 week+ road trip by the end of the summer.

From Michigan, down to Texas to see my girl, over to San Deigo to see some cousins and also show off what they coulda had

Then it's up the California coastline, over through Yosemite (i know, 3" straight thru exhaust and National Parks, morally, don't mix well.) I hope to find my way over to Colorado through some desolate state highways in Nevada. Then from there, it's Denver straight home. It's a lot of driving in two weeks.
Mapquest sucks because they won't let you make "roadtrip" like maps, only point A to point B, whicn in my case, are both the same address

Anyway, I'm a little skeptical about it for the reason that my engine still isn't here, and when it does get here and my car is finally running, it'll only leave me 3 weeks or so to "feel it out" and make sure that everything that's gonna go wrong with it, goes wrong within a 20 mile radius of my house.

I've thought about flying, but fuck that. Driving a car you love to drive is half the fun. Seeing people you love and scenery that takes your breath away is the other half.

Oh yea, and as far as my car's condition goes: I've got Cusco Zero-2R's (8k, 6k), stock bushings, Espelir JGT500 exhaust, one of the quieter on the market, no A/c, no cruise unless i can find a way to hook it up mechanically and electronically, stock interior (hopefully I can get ahold of an S14 seat before the haul, my back will kill otherwise), and stock paint.

Any words of advice from those who have been there, done that?
