So three guys Stayed in a car for 31 hours straight , drove well over 100 mph on public roads , put everyone out there in danger , and they are some kind of heroes . Wonder what you would think if they killed your kid ? If they think they are fast , get on a race track .

My thoughts exactly. I wonder how many kids will be inspired to try something similar? BTW, see how much a M-B service costs? > $9K. Tells me all I need to know about their cars...

Yeah, I was thinking about how fast they had to drive and how much risk was involved for those in their path.

I think this is a bad promotion. I'd like to be able to make their trip in an old truck, but only for completing the trip, not for time.
