I'm planning on a fly in / drive home purchase here in the next couple of weeks. I'm new to the turbo buick world but pretty comfortable with FI cars and wrenching in general.
I'll be driving from the great lakes area to CO, I plan on driving like a granny to keep it out of boost and mitigate any potential mishaps on the way back. All signs point to a car in good working order but goal number one it to make it home.
Bear in mind this is a fly/drive so I'll be limited in how much stuff I can bring with me:

Bear in mind this is a fly/drive so I'll be limited in how much stuff I can bring with me:
- What are some common wrench sizes and other tools that I should have handy??
- What about parts or spares??
- Is there any prep work I should perform before getting on the road??
- Not sure when the last "spring" cleaning was performed, hope to avoid all that work until I get home but willing to do if recommended
- Any easy button fuel or oil additives?? ZDDPlus seems like a common one.
- How do these cars do in the snow??
- Recommended winter tires??
- Heater, defrost and wipers will likely get a lot of work. Anything special here??
