picking up new car..... what to bring along 200

posted by  someone claiming to be jerry on  Sun Dec 4 17:32 CST 2005 [RELATED]

So I bought another Volvo. This makes 7 total 5 current. I think I have a problem.
Technically this car will only be partially mine as my roomate (only owns one volvo) wants to play along and get a "back up car" for us to share.
I'm sure a lot of you saw the car on ebay. It was the 85 turbo wagon. Item number: 4594967395. $600 sounded like a good price. I'm only contributing $200. I like the idea of having a turbo 5 speed at my disposal.
After about 4,000 miles driven on unproven cars I would like to do this one right. I think my luck will eventually run out. The plan is to drive the car from Columbia, MD back to Tallahassee, FL. Roomate's girlfriend is driving her 89 240 to New York and will be dropping us off on her way. Advice as to what to pack besides my 13mm wrench? Space for the first time on one of these ventures is not at a premium.

As a side note this may very well be my first real experience driving in snow/ice. Also, Roomate doesn't know how to drive a stick yet so it's gonna be all me on the way home.
