500 miles? are you kidding?
I put close to 3K+ miles when I went from Rapid City, SD to Miami, Fl then from Miami, Fl to Minneapolis, MN! Not one issue, even through the Appalachian Mtn on the way from Gerorgia to Tennessee (Chatanooga) on 8% gradients for 5+ miles.
On the help, plenty of Fl folks here.
also check here.. the "The breakdown Connection" thread.

GA to Cocoa should not be a problem. I made a Chattanooga to Orlando move without issue before I fixed most of my problems.
5 trips back and forth over a 2 month period and the worst thing that happened was running low on oil a couple times.
I can only imagine what people were thinking seeing me doing 85 mph down I-75 with a 32" tv in the back seat and a rattan couch strapped to the roof.
If you've got fairly new hoses and decent belts, and it runs/drives well then just carry a small assortment of wrenches/ratchets/fluids and you should be fine.
FYI I keep a small tool bag behind the driver seat with 8/10/12/14/17 wrenches/ratchets, some electrical tape/small spool of wire, and a couple spare bulbs. This along with 2 quarts of oil.
The most I've ever used on a road trip is the oil and a turn signal bulb.
