Okay, so how many times did you have to stop to pee, and what kind of gas mileage did you get in that Mercedes?

Look at that freaking thing. Got one thing for WAZE, jammers, V1, two GPS systems...Edit THREE GPS systems including the vehicle's internal GPS

Eurodrivers are always setting new records.

1: Stealing the above image.

2: Actually, if you count the 3G iPad, and the phone, that vehicle has five GPS systems.

3: The integral laser and radar jamming systems these days are quite phenomenal. I have been blessed to drive in a car equipped with them while testing at PIR locally. They could not register a speed.

4: DAMN. I once did Minot, ND to San Antonio, TX in 24 hours, and then turned around and went back. We had three guys in the car. It was hell at the last bit.

That is an INCREDIBLE time!
I know a former OTR truck driver who would several times a year, drive from the US/Mexican border in Laredo,TX...all the way to his HOME 20 up in TN...a distance of 1289 miles. Would stop ONE time in either Baton Rouge LA or Meridian MA for fuel, fuel up,piss..then shut the door and go all the rest of the way. Took him I think 21-22 hours straight. Was the only way he could get home on the weekend for things.

"When they were moving, which, impressively, was all but 46 minutes of the trip, they were averaging around 100 mph. Their total average was 98 mph, and their top speed was 158 mph, according to an onboard tracking device."

What an IDIOT... endangering countless drivers for a record

No matter how well planned, and how good the drivers were, the safety margins just goes rock bottom every time a very tired driver overtakes someone (who is not expecting it, this was no autobahn) at 120+ mph. I have little sympathy for such people.
