I recall going to the movies when I was 12 or 13 to watch The Cannonball Run with Burt Reynolds and co. I live in Canberra, Australia, so the idea of doing an actual Cannonball is a complication fraught with difficulties. I'm so glad there's a bunch of maniacs who keep this dream alive for the rest of us who don't have the resources or balls to actually do it. You guys are inspiring.

    Getting stopped in the wrong state sucks. My last speeding ticket for 90 in a 55 was written up at that speed with a $361 fine and 6 points off my licence( wisconsin gives you 12 points in a one year period ). After going to court without a lawyer it is now my most expensive parking ticket. They changed it to a $500 parking ticket and 0 points because it was then a non moving violation.

    Love Bluesbrothers, want a Bluesmobile and love the concept of the run but lads mature up a bit - check your tyre pressures if that's what your doing. I've driven the unlimited speed highways here in Australia enough (most still are despite "laws"). I'm all for doing midnight cannonball runs but I'll always check tyres, it's the first thing cops do if you're caught and if you can tell them what tyres your running, when you last checked and the temp change then you're sweet to go. Truckies are mad about it here to. Once got passed on the Flinders Highway by a road train doing 170KPH. A lot of prime movers have faulty speedos.
