Same here with my Bugeye. Pre-cell days, no spares
except points, Louisville KY to Melbourne FL. I got
shot at in Macon GA (they hit a rear tire; a Bugeye
can go several miles on a at tire and you can dig out
the spare and change a flat in about 40 seconds in a
bad neighborhood when pushed), other than that it was
a great trip.

Yikes. My trip was not nearly as exciting (?) as yours. I only had to deal
with an oil leak from a loose banjo fitting on the oil filter head.
In fact everybody I had contact with was all smiles... except the two little
bastards that ripped off my gas cap while I was in a restaurant. Maybe that
is the advantage of taking a (non-redneck) northern route?
Everybody should do a solo trip like that at least once -- and not in a
modern car that has little chance of breaking down in the next 50,000 miles.
