Trip Advice

Heading out mid January for an 1800 mile trip from Charlotte, NC, to Marco Island, FL in an 2013 Aston Martin Vantage. Any advice on the car regarding preparation for the trip. Thanks!

Just the routine stuff - check all your fluids, tire pressure, etc.

I've done several 8-10 hour drives in mine with no issues.

Yup, routine checks. If you're really worried about rock chips, and don't have clear shield, you can use lots of blue tape. It'll look real funny, but it works.

I put just over 3k miles on mine last March in a week and it performed flawlessly. These cars are meant to be driven. Enjoy your trip!

I would bring this. You'll never need it, but better than waiting for a tow. Have wonderful trip.
