Two failed attempts and a new co-driver later, he finally manages to complete a lifelong dream no matter how illegal the trip. He averaged just over 90 mph the whole time. I am amazed at the fact someone put this much dedication into a road trip. Oh, and he completed a life-long goal, how people have ever completed their own life goal. I am not there yet.

I heard the story on NPR last week or so, and was just dumbfounded at the glorification of driving like a moron and then getting a book deal out of it! One NPR listener calculated that he must've been going something like 100+ MPH pretty consistently to make that kind of time. As a <a href="http://www.liveworkdream.com" rel="nofollow">fulltime RVer on the roard</a>, I really shudder to think of all of the idiots who will pass me on the road as they try to break this guy's record. Stupid stupid stupid. You know, I really have a problem with this stunt.
