A number of Canuckians will be at WTD and we can bring some if you ask nicely. You can find them at any corner store here.
I feel like I should just bring some random bags, just in case.
Well if you guys could bring some that would definitely be very nice of you, and I'd really appreciate it , thanks In advance!!
Btw how long is the drive from Canada?
At this point I'm not sure how much space there'll be in the S (2 girls on a 10 day road trip ) but I'll pack in what we can.

Of all the Canadians, I probably have the shortest drive - about 8.5-9.0 hours.

It sure does!

Since I'm on the border, it does take some of the fun out of going to a different country, but I agree 9 hours isn't too bad.

One thing I didn't see on the list. If you have wheel locks or lug nuts that require a key, splined socket, anything but a 19mm socket to remove, BRING THE KEY OR ADAPTER!!!

My first dragon the Ohio Crew helped fix somebodies flat tire (that was on cords) while on the car cause he couldn't remove the wheel. A tow truck driver won't be so friendly to your expensive wheels.

They can hear you coming. The Dragon is tight corner after corner after corner...so doubt it helps at all. Most of the time LEOs sit on the side and wait to see/hear craziness. There are few straightaways...my point is I doubt a radar detector will help you (on the Dragon).
