Hi,

I am planning to move to Phoenix and would like to drive my 93 Corolla from Baton Rouge to Pheonix (~1430 miles). I got 150 K on my Corolla now. I got my car into water couple of weeks ago and water got into my engine now its running fine. I replaced engine oil, tranny oil, spark plugs.

Please give me some advise if I can take my car or need to ship it to Pheonix ($850). And also advise me some travel tips (basic car-chekup) if I drive my corolla to Pheonix.

Thanks for your adivse and suggestions.

Corolla 93

As long as you have kept up on regular maintenance, a cell phone is all you should have to worry about.
