Quite possibly the most insane drive, ever.

NY to San Diego in under 33 hours and AVERAGING 90+mph for the whole trip.

INSANE.

I know someone, who did Daytona, FL to NJ in 10 Hours flat. That was an average of 101 mph. And the last hour and 20 minutes he did an average of 45 mph because as soon as he hit the Delaware memorial bridge he saw 3 troopers, and then counted a total fo 17 troopers from the bridge to his destination. He got VERY lucky for the first 950 miles of the trip in not encountering ANY LE. That time included 4 fuel stops. This man was young and stupid when he did this, and would NEVER consider doing that again!
