I have a 100 Mile commute in California, each way. Where and how can I find a sponsor for mobile advertising?

Between this and a Honda, probably your best bet in getting there. Have the oil changed at a shop before you leave: make sure they also check the belts, hoses, other fluid levels and tell them (when they're done) that you're going on a trip and do they think it's running okay for that? They will be straight with you but may try to sell you an expensive air filter or glove compartment bearing (just kidding), just use your head or perhaps get a second opinion if they do. Have a good trip.

Are you one of those highly annoying people who sit in the middle lane of motorway when slow lane is clear?

Depends on how much of a junker this Corolla is. Just make sure you have the old "bin o' fluids" that every junker owner should have.

help!!?

oil, rad fluid (premixed), brake fluid, power steering fluid, washer fluid. I'd also bring - techsteel or other steel epoxy putty for fixing fuel lines, rads, etc. flashlight, jumper cables, screwdriver, ratchet, spare tire.

How many miles it is from LaGuardia to JFK?

That's all I can think of now. Not much point bringing tranny fluid, cause if that's leaking you're SOL if you're on the road.

why is this mean?

Bring some drinking water too, lol.

Gasoline Station at night?

You are a college puke on a Roadtrip, who cares if the car makes it? If it dies then it's Thumbs Up on the road to adventure.

just a thought?

I would recommend staying in back of big rigs and other high profile vehicles. They can suck you along by drafting.
