Just be prepared for flying fenders on the expressway. 
One of the most amusing and yet terrifying sights I remember was a ride in from O'Hare. The hotel courtesy bus was making good time yet a beat up old GM product handily passed us with its right front fender flapping in the breeze. Apparently the fender had entirely rusted free from any lower fastenings and air was forcing and flexing the metal a considerable distance in just about every direction. Quite a sight for a west coast boy with sun baked upholstery being about the worst weather damage seen. With the minimal upper mount points holding a typical fender I can only think the worst and it would eventually fatigue, come loose and go sailing away to land on another car two or three back. I think the most amusing part was the driver seemed to be totally oblivious.
