yea its gonna be awesome on the way down there, but on the way back, it will seem like forever! as everyone stated, check all fluids, brakes, make sure ur serpentine belt and other belts are fine. Car is somewhat tuned up and what not. Before my SZ drive, I did the whole UIM/LIM cleanup, new plugz and wires just for that..my drive turned out to be quite smooth thankfully, even though my axles were messed up.
