Fred Ashmore rented a Mustang GT, crammed it full of fuel tanks, and drove from New York City to Los Angeles in under 26 hours, shattering the solo Cannonball record.

I'm skeptical about these claims of 100mph plus coast to coast driving.

How does one manage to average over 100 mph on our highways without getting pulled over by the state police?

Scary to think of this guy on the road driving 25+ hours with few if any breaks, a car full of makeshift gasoline tanks and obviously driving 100+ mph. If he even dozed off for a second it would be disaster. I also assume he wore some type of adult under garment as he wouldn’t likely be stopping to pee.

Lol! I’d hate to hit that car broadside! The quip about the car not going over 159 mph is funny too.

Yawnable event... As soon as I get my dang teleport device in my 1948 Nash working and tested, I’ll make the trip with only 10-gallons of gasoline in less than 12.53 seconds...
