Guys drive across the US in under 29 hours, avoid speeding tickets
5 hrs ago
The last time we sat in one place for almost 29 hours, it involved a Netflix marathon and our sofa. But Ed Bolian did something a little more impressive — and impressively dangerous — in 28 hours and 50 minutes: he drove across the entire United States. Bolian and two friends, including one co-driver, packed into a highly equipped 2004 Mercedes-Benz CL55 AMG and rocketed themselves from midtown Manhattan to Redondo Beach, Calif., at an average speed of 98 mph. They stopped for gas three times; they never took a bathroom break.
Bolian and his crew obliterated Alex Roy's previous cross-country driving record of 31 hours and 17 minutes, aided by their car's three fuel tanks that could hold a total of 67 gallons of gas (and apparently made the interior smell like an Exxon had exploded.) They also had every conceivable gadget, including police scanners, CB radios, two GPS units, two iPhones running traffic (and speed trap-related) apps and two laser jammers. They also had nutrition bars, enough caffeine to kill a brontosaurus and bedpans, obviously. Congrats, guys. Don't ever do that again. [Source]
