Wow, that's amazing! Out of curiosity, how fast were you guys driving, and did you sleep at all?

51hrs and 15min!!! That's great!!

Well I had it written down somewhere I did San Diego to VA pulling a trailer in a Nissan Pathfinder a few years back and I did the drive with a partner in about 106 hours +/-. We were stopping overnight and drove between 13 and 15 hours a day. I would say that we weren't passing anyone like they were in the video as I was a little loaded down but damn!! That's great..

Could you answer "What did you do this weekend?" "Well, I flew to California bought a car and drove it back. Got a few hours of sleep before having to come in today. Hope you don't mind if I am a little grouchy" as you stretch a leg and walk off to do your business... LOL

Awsome, the video was cool. I cannot belive u made it in a 500 dollar car without any true engine problems. I like the duck taping the roof closed, that was classic.

I'm back! Wow! I give you a standing ovation! I loved the quip about the crater's being closed, and the duck taping of the roof was hilarious!

Amazing! 3200 miles (approx.) by way of Tennessee in 51 hours? That's an average of 63 miles per hour! You guys are machines, no doubt! That makes my trip in the 968 from Colorado Springs to Huntsville, AL in 30 hours look paltry.

If you want to put together a longer video from your raw footage, I will be the first in line to watch it! Cool, very cool!

Nicely done. Having driven a car with the AC stock ON from Chicago to Ft.Lauderdale in 27 hours I can comiserate with the "no heat" thing.
Congrats. what a trip.
