Have you heard? There’s a new “cross-country record”.
Hint: it was gas tanks and bedpans.
Our friends at Jalopnik had the exclusive on this one, by the way. The article is by TTAC alumnus and noted QOTD creator Doug DeMuro, who kind of plays Neil Strauss to “Ed”‘s Courtney Love. Or vice versa. It’s not easy to tell.
The one completely amazing part of the record is that they did it in a CL55. Your humble E-I-C pro tem once had a CL55 as a company car, lo these many years ago. It never made it 3,000 miles without some of those miles being a back-and-forth to the dealership. So there’s that.

Doug is destined for bigger and better things. Maybe he'll move on to WSJ, taking Dan's slot. A note of caution, it's rumored that they strictly enforce the "no prostate jokes" rule.
Why isn't this guy being ticketed?
Is there a record for the North to South run, let's say the length of I-75 from Sault Ste Marie to Key West?
Coast to Coast and never stopping in even _one_ junkyard ? . That's not only no fun , it's absurd . -Nate
