It would cost less to just drive, but would it be safe for the car? how long should i drive it before giving it a rest? i was planning on driving it straight without sleeping.. just pit stops.. but now, i think im going to sleep like 3 days and go slow.
So, would it be safe for the g to be driven cross country? it's a 06 coupe, with 1800 mi on it... i did one oil change at 1414. And does it usually take that long to ship the car? thanks for your help.

it will be fine, believe it or not the engine is pretty much broken in off the factory through testing and other things, its mostly your suspension and bearings n other stuff that need the breaking in. i think youll be fine, i drove to northern cali and back from so-cal and my cars had no problems
i suggest painters tape because the look on peopes faces is priceless when they see it. yes, the 3m blue painters tape. you could get the nosemask/bra too, but the painters tape is more fun.
as they said, get an oil change before and probably when u get there. hopefully no one will mess with ur car while ur at school... u are in college after all...

Ive done the FL to Jersey trip twice....the car is seriously amazing. Do the oil change before you leave, and after you arrive. On very light traffic, just put the car in 6th, set ur cruise to 85mph, and just cruuuuuise, you'll be fine. G's are made to be driven...the VQ is a great motor

At a minimum you would need to have another oil change.
dont go to a dealer to install teh clearbra, unless you want to get ripped off. go to a clearbra dealer. use the money from the flight / shipping you would have spent on a clear bra and some mods...
