400 miles is not that far man.. Seems like you are way over-planning.

Just continue to do the regular maintenance on schedule and you will be fine.

Depends on the way you are taking. you may not be hitting any tolls. anything 15 over is considered a misdemeanor here so watch your six once you pass the stateline

As for the tail of the dragon, that is a span of road that has more turns in it then a nascar race {thumb up} Look it up, you won't regret it
