Number 6: CHECK THE TRANNY
The same heavy demands placed on your engine during the summer months can also affect your car's transmission. Check your owner's manual to see if you're getting close to the recommended service interval for the transmission. If so, do it before you go.
You'll want to make sure your transmission fluid is nice and clean, since dirty transmission fluid is a good recipe for cooking your transmission until it reads "well done."
