One of the first things that you want to make sure that you do is fill up the oil, the brake fluid and all of the coolant fluids, that way you can really be sure that everything is going to be in tip-top shape there.  Next, you want to make sure that your battery is all charged up and that it is in top shape.  Next on the list is going to be the drive belt on the engine, you want to make sure that you replace that if it is in bad shape.

Finally, the tires are going to be the last thing that you will need to check out.  Make sure that you check to ensure that everything about your tires are good, so you do not get a flat tire on the road.  That’s it!
