as the title says I am leaving for the Dragon on Thursday at lunch 6-24 and meeting up with a bunch of Subaru friends at Fontana village. What would you take along on the trip?

I have so far:
- spare tools (mostly just the basics)
- spare air pump
- tire plug kit
- new crank sensor
- OBD2 reader (I needed this 2 years ago for my Subaru and I'm not leaving without it again)

Anything else?


If you are local and see me running around stop and say hi and even though I am with a bunch of Subarus they are not the "fart can blow off valve" kind of people.

Before anyone says it...yes we know part of the Dragon is closed...there are other great roads down there to play on too.

 

A lot depends on how long you're staying.

 

arrive friday (noonish) and leave early sunday morning.

I don't plan on running the Dragon hard if that is what you are getting at...I got a ticket 2 years ago for 63 in a 40 (I swear it was a 55 zone) and it was about $250

 

Wash bucket, mits, and soap and something to dry your car off with. The bugs will eat your car alive. Uh... I think you've got everything else... oh you need to bring alcohol otherwise you'll pay out the *** up there for it.

 

Credit card, Bottle of Single Malt Scotch.....and a Crossfire.

Anything else would be window dressing.

ummm Yea Preferably Laphroaig! I am an Islay kinda guy.

 

A Crossfire humidor, with several good cigars, upates when you return.

 

take a mountain bike...some of the best biking in the country at Tsali National Park

 

wash bucket for sure. As for alcohol I guess we will see...I'm in a mixed crowd of people who really don't drink (one guy doesn't even drink soda) so maybe a 6 pack but that is about it. The cigar idea does sound great though.

ok why would u need the new crank sensor..

im going in the fall and ur scareing me with this list

 

I read on here that they go bad without warning and that they are cheap to buy and worth having a spare around since parts are hard to come by for these cars. If I was with a bunch of XF's I wouldn't worry about it but with a bunch of Subarus I'm screwed.

There is a post in this section about a place online and how to install it and all that stuff. I spent about $50 for a sensor and a new oil filter and hopefully that will buy me some peace of mind.
