Default A book

Their is a book out their or so i hear about a guy setting the record for fastest time driving a car across the us. I hear the guy drove at night and had gps and radar detectors and basically just sped from coast to coast. After doing this he waited for the statue of limitations to run up and then wrote a book about it. But i don't know the name of this book the guy who told me about it didn't remember the name of it either. Its possible that it dosent exist.. Any one have any ideas?

It was seriously that knob? Crap

I remember a dude who was older than him, driving test runs a few times and he gave up in the videos I saw because his projected speeds for the remaining distances were too high to be realistic so he'd start over.
