cross-country drive coming up...

Hey everybody-
I know i don't post too often, so most of you probly
barely even notice my name, but i've got a favor to
ask of the whole list so lemme give you all a little
background info-
I'm leaving for college soon, Penn State University
(engineering, baby) and i currently live in
Pleasanton, California. My parents are more than a
little bit concerned with my driving 3000 miles on a
$400 roc (i payed $600 without knowing it wasn't worth
that much). The car is in good shape as far as I'm
concerned; new clutch, timing adjusted, some other
bits and pieces redone... But my parents, most of
their road-trip experience coming from aircooled VWs,
have voiced concern that if it broke down somewhere
where i couldn't get parts in time to make it tomy
first day of classes, then i'd have to abandon it, and
not only would i be left with no car, i'd be left
without my first car, the one i learned to work on
cars by repairing, etc etc etc. Then i realized that i
subscribe to this little rocco-list thing and maybe,
just maybe... 
Here's my idea:
Depending on whether or not enough people are willing,
I could stop along the way at different listers'
places, see your roc, maybe have a quick look around
town and then back on the road. Or, to go in another
direction, if anybody wanted to make a drive for fun,
you could join in from california and we could head
out convoy style; The hope being that at each rocco
owner's place if i broke down nearby, i could at least
get a tow to your place and then hit whatever junkyard
you use for stuff ASAP instead of having to wait for
parts from a shop. 
Anyway, there's the idea; I know when my dad was on
the various lists for Vanagons and aircooled
microbuses they'd occasionally do things like this
too, so i hope the request isn't too outrageous.
Feel free to email me back directly, post, or
instant-message to TurkishApe and hopefully we can all
work somethin out... I'd love to see some hot-rodded
rocs up-close too!
Thanks everbody...
Doruk
