    I'd rather take my time and actually see the country if I did it...I'd like to take a long trip like that at lower speeds, say 60MPH, and see how far I can get with my 52 gallon tank......Ben

    My brother ran the actual Cannonball Run 4 or 5 times with a factory Saab. At one point I had some interest in doing it with him---until he had done the first one and then the stories made me rethink that move

    He did get tickets but not a lot---most of the police left them alone if they were not endangering anyone else---plus---they knew they could outrun them.
