I just picked up a pair.
Hmm spare keys. Great idea. I can imagine getting out of the car only to realize the keys are in there and your out there 1,700 miles from home, stopped by the simplest thing ever. That's going on the list.

Rockstar Energy Drink for you... The triple size ones! That's a haul.
I'd just run to Target or something and get one of those emergency kits. I think the one I got was pretty cheap. Jumper cables, flares, can of tire goo... Good luck with that trip and Happy Turkey Day. I'll keep an eye out for a 4Runner with Ill. plates!

89123 I'm off the Warm Springs exit on 215. Close to the airport. I'll keep an eye out, and be safe on the trip. I hope your weather is mild.

OH! If you get the chance while you are here, the Bass Pro Shop is something to see! It's their flagship store, so there is a river in it, a gun range, and so on. They also have a rare gun room. There are some fantastic pieces in there. Make your relatives take you there. It's at the Silverton Casino. Also they have a pretty awesome salt water tank complete with mermaids.
Come on, it's Vegas. Don't be surprised and all. If your not 21 you can still see this stuff. If you are 21 or older and want to hit a casino, go to Palms. The eye candy there is second to none. There and Planet Hollywood. Cheers!

'thanks for all the responses guys!!
Toyotaman, this weekend I'll go out and get a grease gun, mine disappeared. Al's chop shop, what kind of tire chains do you recommend? I don't think we will hit snow though? Maybe, haha, is it snowing in Colorado? Nice. That sounds like a kick ass place to go. I love the strip, even though I am under 21, I still love it there. Space-junk, I was thinking about seafoaming today too. Also I dunno about you guys, but I LOVE car trips no matter how far and long.
