Fill it up with gas and go!!!!
Depending on how long it has been since the last oil change, say around 2-3K miles, I would change the oil. Tire rotation is really not needed. When you get back, you may want to rotate and balance them as well as getting a wheel alignment.

RE: 2005 stang trip
Can I get an Amen!
The alignment check 1yr/12k miles. Unless you feel the car pulling left/right, steering wheel off center, or uneven front tire wear.
Check your fluid levels and tire psi. Gas n go! have fun!
I had planned a road trip to Fl. myself, gf wants to fly so more time to stay there

RE: 2005 stang trip
Tell her that if you drive, your body will adjust to the climate better. If you fly, your body goes into heat shock. See if that helps any.
Also if we drove she would have to help, and she cant drive stick! Nor is she gonna learn!

Ahh, but did you think to tell her that with the way the Hurricanes have been coming out of no where, if you have the car with you, you can high tail it if necessary, whereas if you fly...........
LOL
