Taking a 25 year old car can be an adventure and you want to be prepared. I'm pretty sure I have everything I need for the trip but can anyone think of something I may be forgetting?

The map looks like it was printed in the 60's. If you want to leave half that stuff at home just bring your I-fone with GPS and associated APP's. Oh and you may as well leave the rubbers at home too...you're going to Monterey not Fantastyland.

Where's the faux roll of $20 bills? At a minimum It needs to be about 3" in diameter, wrapped with a #64 rubber band.

You forgot the golf clubs; some of the most amazing courses in the world are around Monterey.
And, no auto survival kit would be complete without at least one roll of duct tape and some zip ties!

What, a road trip with no tiki lights? I would think that'd be part of your auto emergency kit.
Monterey. Yeah, rub it in. You, sir, suck.
Have fun but try not to hurl on anybody's car.
As for what to bring, please bring a decent camera. And use it to take some decent photos while you're there
so you can share them with those of us who can't make it. Please?

What you really need is one of these:

Great way to pick up chicks or chucks if that's what you're into.

I'd tow a Mini Cooper as my lifeboat.

Yeah you're not joking. I had to take the love boat 100 miles off course to go pick your wife up.

I would pack more Fire Sauce,
Some Wesson Oil,
A Wagner Spray Painter and a Twister Board to go with the Condoms...
Were they out of Magnums?

Well I just need to anchor the hula girl on the package shelf and I think I'm ready to go.
Thanks for all the feedback and suggestions. I added tiki torches, handcuffs and a Judge Smails hat to my original list so I think EVERYTHING is covered now.
I'm leaving tomorrow morning with my first stop at Ron P's shop in Huntington Beach. From there, it just depends on traffic and how the car is doing.
I'm visiting along the way so I don't know where exactly I'll spend the night but Morro Bay isn't out of the question.
Thursday I'll meet up with Jeff B, Darin, Mike, John SCB and some of the LA contingent. We plan on being in Monterey by 5:00ish.
