Default Help me make a 5.0 Travel Kit!

Ok so for memorial day weekend me and my girlfriend are driving to her familys condo out past Pittsburg, and i live right outside of philadelpia. Its a little over 5 hours away. Longest trip I will have taken the stang on so far since ive had it. Ive taken my old 98GT father than that but that was a 10 year old car at the time, and now im takin my 21 year old car. So far, im takin coolent, oil, spare set of radiator hoses, hose clamps, gasket maker, fuses, and a 154 piece craftsman set, along with other tools. Oh zip ties and duct tape. So anything else I should take along?

The less you take the less you need. Be confident in the car or don't go. Look at it like this. Round trip is shorter than 1/2 way to the next oil change. Traveling is the easiest on your car. Make sure you have a spare, jack and a lugwrench and hit the road.
