Default Rented Mustang - NY to Redondo Beach in 25:55 SOLO....

I love shit like this....who needs co pilots and technology....just some odd gas tank / gas can contraption to add 130 gallons and Covid to keep the roads somewhat clear to average 108mph cross country!

Yeah that's pretty awesome. I wish I took advantage of the clearer roads when it was first allowed to drive around since it was banned for a while. Especially since I could work from home, wish I just packed up my gear and worked remotely randomly setting up a desk somewhere.

I love stuff like this too! We've been enjoying the lack of traffic and seeing it come back is a little disappointing.

I guess I am not into damaging other people's stuff? Especially under contract not to.

It’s a rental. I’m sure he was well aware of the terms of the contract before entering into such an endeavor.

Couldn't he just put the back seat back in it and have it back to the way he picked it up...? would be funny to have a 2-3 day rental and rack up 6000+ miles.... lol
