Seriously tho, why are you worried? These cars are very reliable and I take mine on numerous 4-5 hour trips without a problem.

I drove my car from south Florida to Long Island, NY without any problems (19+ hours, no stopping cept gas)
just bring a cell phone, and like mentioned before, spray the front end with WD-40, or PAM cooking spray if you'd like , and like the other guy said just check all the fluids and tire pressure etc.
