Do it. I've done it with my neon several times. Hasn't let me down yet, it has been very dependable. Like others have said just make sure fluids are all good and you don't have any problems that you know of before you leave. Long as you are up on regular maintenance you should be set.

RE: Road trip in the neon
Half the fun of road trips is the chance that things can go wrong. I had a blast on my '84 Honda VF750 running Denver to Atlanta (Actually, Elizabeth, CO to Macon, GA; 1480 miles each way)last spring with nothing more than 2 changes of clothes, a carton of smokes, a can of chain lube, $1,200 cashand a Tanfoglio 10mm automatic. Even more fun coming back in my '66 M35A2 that I bought from the military sight unseen with no gaurantee it was roadworthy, just that it ran.
It's the suspense that keeps it interesting, and the hiccups that make the trip memorable.

But I understand what you're saying. I'm just the type of person that doesn't want stuff to go wrong. I always think about what it does to a car that's in 4th gear for a really really long time. Nothing i take?
