Hey Guys!
Planning a XC Trip from Charlotte NC into Chelan WA in late January .
My driving partner has done multiple xc trips in winter, but out of reliability We've decided to take my car, I have a 2002 v70cx with 186K on it. This will be my first time going Cross Country with my V70cx in the winter(Late January). I have been religious with the maintenance in it( Last Trans flush was at 185k, Routine Oil Changes, New tires, new brakes/rotors, hubs, Axles, K&N Airfilter, Alternator, sparkplugs, coil packs, and many other repairs. (lets just say working on it is my favorite pastime[thumbup])
My tentative plans will be to Take I-40 to Nashville to pick up my Driving Partner.
from there I plan on staying on I-40
then cutting over to I-15 up I-84 then into Washington.
and I will be watching weather and make adjustments based on road conditions.
I would love some input or advice from people who have made this trip, or ones similar to it. :)
