good tunes! don't forget the good tunes!

I think that any drive over 15 hours is where music becomes irrelevant. I think you could hear every song in your collection in that time...and it's all just a blur afterward. Tunnel vision sets in. As Macho Man Randy Savage once said "Do not go down that lonesome highway."

Ah, to be young again.

Yeah....I was 22 when I did it. And my friend was along for the ride. I'm pretty sure I went through a 12 pack of Mountain Dew and 2 packs of cigarettes in that 20 hour period.

Looks like Richard Rawlings has another car to buy for his Cannonball collection.

He was the record holder. Bet he's crying now...

when I drove from Fresno to Fort Colins when I was discharged, I was damn near hallucinating; having run out of CDs. this was in 2000. went through them all probably twice.

I remember waking up at 2:30 am not being able to sleep. THinking "man...i wish I could go back to sleep'....then realizing my discharge leave started at 00:00. So I said **** it; had my sea bag packed already. Brushed my teeth and out I went. I was hyped up/ecstatic I was out so that was fueling a ton of my energy

So how are you guys getting this great gas mileage to where you are non-stop from point A to point B?

Cannonball Run (1981) stole the idea from Gumball Rally (1976)


Great job in Gumball Rally from Raul Julia and Gary Busey before they were famous.

Best line from Gumball Rally

Franco: And now my friend, the first-a rule of Italian driving.
[Franco rips off his rear-view mirror and throws it out of the car]
Franco: What's-a behind me is not important.
