Planning on taking the s from mia to penn
Hey guys, I have an 01 s2000, 70k miles and planning on taking a trip this winter to pennslyvania. I live in miami, round trip will be about 2300 miles or so. I would ofcourse take my car to the shop, have everything checked to see if I were able to make it there and back. I was just wondering what you guys thought about it ? The weather from miamk to pennslyvania that time of the year is obviously going to be a dramatic change. Is this a good idea

And you want to go North why??? LOL.
I live in Massachusetts and am thinking of going in the opposite direction.
You might need snow tires on the rears if the weather so demands.
A Honda with 70K miles is no issue whatsoever to me, as long as you know everything is OK before going. Old battery? Check it.
Have fun

Haha... no problems with the car, now if you are talking about the weather that's another issue. No one can predict how bad that will be. I just 4k in a week on mine... 100 plus degree temps with the AC on. You can dew eeet!

Depending on the time of year you need to be prepared with proper tires. If you get caught in snow (or even sub-40 degree weather) in a set of summer tires you're going to be in bad shape. Other than that just check the same stuff you'd check on any other car and you should be fine.

Put on snow tires (not all seasons but real snow tires) and you will be fine. One word of advice though, if you do not have a lot of experience driving in the snow, take it extremely easy and if you get caught in a snow storm (not just flurries but a severe one), stop and wait for it to pass and the roads be plowed/sanded. Also, do some research on driving in the snow.
