Default going on a 1500 mile trip soon

so i changed the coolant temp sensor
had my oil leak fixed (valve cover)
replaced my trailing arm bushings
this will be the first real road trip for this car and i will be able to really get a chance to enjoy my HID'S and sit back and experience this car's true potential
i have thoroughly gone through this car from bumper to bumper and cant wait to see how it performs, i have 148,000 miles on it and will post gas milage and everything i experience from this trip
i will be leaving in november and coming back in december

Python,

I was able to put a 42" plasma in the back of my LS with no problems, but we had to take it out of the box.

Default Road trip

Hi there python mate, you will love it in the luxobarge, i have recently come back from my holiday. I drove from south london to the south of spain nr allicante and back to the uk and enjoyed every min of the drive. Next year i am hoping to go to italy via the mont blanc tunnel and then return via germany and france. Oh happy days, i cant wait. By the way the total milage that i covered was 1,633 miles in 2 weeks.

i also forgot to mention i replaced the drivers side coil as a precaution, i went for a test spin yesterday of about 300 miles and the car ran great....i have read on these forums about what things are common problematic items and have taken care of pretty much everything....btw samsung makes great tv's and monitors , i have a 24 inch monitor syncmaster and its awesome! i will be looking at the plasmas because of the picture is far superior to anything else
