Cannonball run

Cannonball run

The idea of driving New York to Los Angeles in under 32 hours is insane. Luckily, so is Alex Roy. (via DF)

    GHoosdum I want to be Alex Roy when I grow up.

    Wired's coverage of his run was great.

    Further fodder:

    I'm FAR more comfortable knowing they rocketed along like that than I am with most drivers when they're doing the speed limit. :o

    Wired really did a great job on that.

    RWB I could fly to NY then to LA and back to Dallas quicker than that... :P

    BuddyJ And flying would be boring. This is not boring; it's awesomesauce.

    GHoosdum This had nothing to do with travel speed and everything to do with planning and working hard to accomplish a goal.

    And awesomesauce, it had a lot to do with that too.
