Road trip.

Should I have any reservations taking my 2002 SAAB 9-5 on a 3500 mile trip? It's only got 105,000 miles. Tires nearly new, serp accessory belt new, all filters new, fresh oil, new struts (Bilstein's ride too hard!), transmission flushed, etc. Only major thing coming up is the timing belt/pulleys - was last replaced at 62,000 miles. Hope it doesn't fail early since this is an interference engine. I kind of wish I had a spare CPS as my last one failed at 80K miles. Leaving next weekend. Oddly I've been running a 7 pound radiator cap for years, lower boiling point of coolant but easier on the cooler, radiator, heater core, hoses, etc - at least in theory. :-)
