My uncle has an original vinyl record of "Leonard Nimoy presents Mr Spock's Music From Outer Space". I can borrow it and put it on my mp3 player.

My iTunes NAS at work has 137 days of music on it with no repeats, easily copied off for such a long journey. Given a week, I could easily double that (legally!). I would liberally sprinkle in Neu!, MotÃƒÂ¶rhead, Space Age Bachelor Pad Music, Gary Numan, John Coltrane, Hawkwind, Holst, Kraftwerk, Brian Eno, Stereolab, Can, Sun Ra, Rush, David Bowie, Bad Brains, Pink Floyd, Wagner, Boris, Suicide, Deep Purple, Devo, Faust, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, a Brazil DVD, ding dongs, RC, jerky, gummi everything, & my bucky pillow. We could make it.

Unless Joe finally gets the Chevelle going, I think we'll need to go this direction:

Rough but sturdier than a Falcon (Millennium, not Ford).

Or maybe this direction w/a Malibu & super cool accompanying soundtrack that comes with the vehicle:

So we'd also need a few comfy, beaded seat covers and a pine air freshener.

Yeah, in the distant rear view mirror. And god damn these Blago news copters. Never live near an Illinois governor. They are inevitable.
