It's
no secret that the folks here at VehicleHistory.com love driving.
Otherwise we wouldn't be working at VehicleHistory.com in the first
place! Which is why we keep up on all the latest driving news and try
to pass it on to you when we can. Today, the VehicleHistory.com blog
is dedicated to Ed Bolian for setting a new record from driving from
midtown Manhattan to Redondo Beach, California.
It
took Bolian only 29 hours to make the trip. That means that he
averaged 98 miles per hour from coast to coast! Taking into account
food and bathroom breaks, he was probably driving considerably faster
than that for most of the trip.
While
doing so was obviously illegal, it is also a triumph. He had to soup
up his car with advanced electronics to avoid the police. He had to
keep track of where there were traffic problems and find out how to
avoid them. He had to fill up for gas as quickly as possible. And he
had to do it all safely.
Now,
we are not encouraging other people to try to beat his record, but we
do have to admit that it is awfully impressive and worthy of being in
the VehicleHistory.com record books.
Bolian
had said he'd wanted to make the record books ever since he saw The
Cannonball Run when he was 18 years old. Maybe Burt Reynolds should
come out of retirement to congratulate him!
