For anyone who has had a long road trip, you can imagine how boring a cross-country drive could be. But what if you drove from New York to LA in 31 hours? I would imagine things would be a bit more exciting, especially because you would have to average over 90 mph the whole way. That's what Alex Roy of the infamous Team Polizei did recently...he even wrote a book about it.

Here is the article about the record setting drive from the New York Times and here is the full version from Wired.

Also, check out this picture of me at the 2006 Gumball 3000 rally with Alex's back-up car, a Bentley Continental GT, which was packed full of police jamming equipment and even ran with a helicopter escort. Crazy.
