Your #1  VW parts item is.... (insert drum roll here)  AAA  card!



I've always felt your original 2002 advice was always good. Take the car  
out for a long high speed (Interstate MPH) run for at least 1 hour, maybe 
more,  and then see how everything is. If you had no issues, you should be good 
to go.  Daily driven cars actually require less stuff to be brought along, 
as they're  most likely to have had the necessary maintenance done to them 
to keep them on  the road. Cars that don't see a lot of miles, are the ones 
that really should  see some sort of shake down run before putting those kind 
of miles on. :O I also  plan on taking the T-34 out for an extended shake 
down run, once the salt is  gone. That of course is after I've made sure 
everything else is good to  go. ;-) 
 
That said, I like to carry a few items like a quart or 2 of oil, fuel hose  
and clamps, spare throttle cable, some wire with alligator clips, fuses,  
electrical tape, bailing wire, and assorted little stuff like that, that I 
can't  find along side the road to make it to the next town.
