  • Ed has made lots of cross country trips but he always wanted to try a relaxing Cannonball. When the plan A car fell apart. He got that chance but would his team finish the race?

    I live in Pennsylvania, the PA Turnpike is the absolute worst. The speed limit is 70. You can be doing 75-80 in the left lane and there is ALWAYS someone up your ass wanting to pass you no matter how fast you're going, you're not going fast enough to be driving on the PA Turnpike! haha when Ed said that he didn't like driving on the turnpike, I had to laugh.

    I have almost the same picture of myself as Ed at around the 2:10 mark, but I was standing on the rental car that I just drove across the GGB. I wasn't on the insurance policy for said rental (for obvious reasons known to my party), but I convinced that group that I was with that I had to do it with a semi-salesperson diatribe and it worked. Never stop being successful guys and gals. On a side note- That brand new rental did die outside of Yosemite a couple days later when the driver failed to listen to me about downshifting to use the engine as a brake. Wheels caught fire for the first time that I was in a vehicle that was not of my doing. I saw a black Modena jumping the hills just past Chinatown the night before, so it was a memorable trip to SF.

  • @thefiascogarage3215
    @thefiascogarage3215 6 лет назад

    Look at that glory at 3:29 . I love old pictures like that, but I also have a weird affliction for Chevy Citations. Call me strange, but Don Yenko's work when he helped develop the X-11 package? He always aimed high with an underdog point of view and eventually the 2 engined Citation came to fruition specifically as an experimental idea to take down exotics. Then we got the Buick Grand Nationals, the GMC Syclones, and arguably some other weird stuff from other manufacturers that were not trade secrets when brands started crossing streams.

    I used to own one of those Cadillacs, if you reflashed the PCM they top out at around 135-140mph for a stock length/stock geared car. Only problem is most 15" stock sized tires aren't rated for that speed, maybe 15" tires for the 9C1 Caprice were rated for that speed, but who knows if those are still in production.
