yup, definitely get the car all tuned up and ready to go before long trips....i would think the civic is up to the test for the long drive though...

If my uncle can go from Toronto ONTARIO, to Atlanta in his 91 civic with no problems... yours can with no problems too...

You're from NY you gotta know where Toronto is...

dude i do this all the time between school and home, it's not a big deal on your car. if you do all you're supposed to, like change oil and all, then you'll be fine. have fun!
