I am driving my 92 Subaru Loyale from Milwaukee, WI to Los Angeles, CA over a period of three days (June 13-15).

 

• Day 1 : Milwaukee, WI to Neodesha, KS ~ 11 Hours
  
• Day 2 : Neodesha, KS to Albuquerque, NM ~ 11 Hours
  
• Day 3 : Albuquerque, NM to Los Angles, CA ~ 11 Hours
  

I wanted to see if any of you would be willing to help me out in the event that I encounter any catastrophic car failures. This is a one way trip and I can't turn back.

 

I have done a lot of work to her in preparation for the trip and I doubt that anything will go wrong. BUT if anything does I'd much rather pay a friend on the forum for a few used parts and share a 6 pack while wrenching in their backyard than pay some GM mechanic to do a shoddy job. I have AAA Plus so I can get a few 100 mile tows from where I break down to your shop.

 

Here is the route I'd be taking. Not exactally Route 66 but pretty damn close.

 

Also any suggestions of worthwhile tourist traps along the route would be much appreciated.

Dude, you have 4 more posts than me....

6 anyways im just off 235 in west des moines ia. i can lend a hand if need be.

They come without all the nifty options but Subarus are like legos, man! You can swap parts real easy between models. I already upgraded the rear brakes to disc that I yanked from a turbo.

 

Hopefully in California I can find a rust free GL10. :-p

in LA they are more likely to crush any thing older, there have been a push every once in a while to crush any thing older than a certian age, working or not, driving or not, in mint or in crap shape because of smog.

 

Torpedo and I arrived safely in LA last night. I had a few problems with my front driver side wheel wobbling (not loose lug nuts) that I'll post about later but other than that she ran like a champ.

 

Thanks for your offers to assist! I hope to meet some of the LA Soob fans soon.
