High mileage car on a road trip

By Fred Keebler at 04/10/08 15:27

Later this year, I'm going to be taking my car down to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina from Cincinnati, Ohio. I know my car can do the trip, but I was worried about the higher mileage it has on it. The mileage is around 140,000 miles, but that shouldn't be that big of a deal... or could it be? Plus with the price of gas rising like crazy, I may just end up hitch-hiking anyway. Should I try to book a flight instead? I know the drive is long, but I sort of like the feeling of being on the open road.

All I'm asking is if anyone has any suggestions on what to do with a higher mileage car on a trip like that.

Didn't know you had to do that first

I never knew when checking your oil you need to start the car first and then shut it off. Man, have I been doing it wrong. The guy on this video seems to know what he's talking about.

Seems I'll do his method from now on.

A good video for how to replace your car battery

I found this really informative video about changing your car battery. I am a female that doesn't know much about cars, but I was able to figure it out with this helpful video:
