re: Upcoming road trip in my '93 90

Matt,
 Having done nearly the same thing (5000 miles in 3 wks.... Mass to Illinois
2 weekends in a row, plus a bunch of local driving) I felt much better
having basic tools, 5 qts of oil & filter, 2 gals antifreeze, qt. of
pentosin, six pack of beer, (in case I break down and need some "relaxation
time", and the usual duct tape, wire clothes hangars, several pieces of
wire, terminals, multimeter, and of course the bentlys...all prepared for
the worse and by some weird luck, the audi gods did not incur their wrath
upon me....gotta be fools luck...

oh, and don't forget lots of cd's to make the trip go by quicker...:)
