Alex Roy and Dave Maher have set a new record for driving across the US. They covered 2,795 miles from New York to Los Angeles in 31 hours and 4 minutes, beating the previous record of 32 hours and 7 minutes. This was Roy’s third attempt at the illegal (and unsafe) “Cannonball Run”. Link -via Metafilter, where you’ll find more links on this story.

BTW - My absolute best time for cross country is 69 hours solo and i should have been arrested for that.
