Default S2k Road Trip

In the middle of July I'm planning a much needed vacation to Cedar Point in Ohio, I am going to drive the S with the gf, Anything in particular I should do or keep an eye on for the trip? I did it last year with some friends, 5hr drive from my house.
I changed, diff fluid, trans fluid this year and oil changes always up to date,
Car is 02 sebring silver 41,000 miles. Only mods: K&N fipk, Invidia q300 dual, Moddiction Heatshield, Blox shift knob, and my favorite Valentine Radar

EDIT: and what should I bring with just in case?

Thanks in advance

Small pillow for your lower back and or when your butt gets numb. If your exhaust droans at highway speeds, bring earplugs. Even music player ear buds will help. Have a crisp $100 bill with you just in case state patrol pulls you over

Maybe a quart of oil just in case. It doesn't sound like your traveling too far but you may want to check your oil at every other fill up or something. Our cars are known to burn oil. You probably wont have a problem but better safe than sorry. Have a safe and fun trip

Since all the boring stuff has been mentioned ( ) make sure you bring some good tunes and some sweet shades to look good and have fun during the drive.

Sun screen because you can get very crispy with a vert and not know it.
