Im pissed about not having a 6th gear either haha. Im buying an 00-02 s4 6 speed this month so things will change haha

 

I have driven my '96 from Albuquerque, NM to Eugene, OR and it did just fine. Like others have said check your fliuds and spare. It was actually quite nice on the highway.

 

just do a full check over of the carand fluids and what not I drove my 2.8 from vermont to Nevada and back to Vermont this summer so if my old 2.8 can do you should be able to oh not a bad idea to invest in AAA gold package hahaha
