Unique mounting point.

Hahaha. 😅🤣

[@bertaman10001]

This channel is on the brink of exploding into one of the biggest automotive channels on KZbin.

[@thedebatemechannel4746]

You were wrong

[@MK-ex4pb]

You're about five miles from the border. Get out of our state LMAO

[@TonySinatra23]

This channel is great...every story is more awesome than the next!

[@bobbysixsevenw]

I do believe you are right this did just become the best Channel on KZbin. Definitely something very unique and fresh. Plus Ed just has an amazing way of telling stories. He could tell you a story about the paint on the wall drying and you would listen to it for 2 hours and and hit the like button lol.

[@williambeck2202]

The hypocrisy of truckers always amazes me , I’ve heard them bragging about going 110 to 115 mph in West Texas and yet I know of confirmed cases of these self named “ knights of the road “ ? , tattling on people, more like hi-way men , there is nothing more terrifying than being passed by a very fast truck, it feels like you’ve been hit by something, scares the crap out of you

[@williamcallas68]

Insane growth on this channel recently

[@TheMoreCylindersTheBetter]

This content release schedule is unreal. Keep it up!

[@VINwiki]

Thank you so much. Help us spread the word!

[@georgekelly7226]

I'm a truck driver. When I see stuff like that happening. I just keep on driving. I'm not snitch. Because in my line of work we are always bending the rules. Lol

If I wasn't for the possibility of getting yanked out the car and cuffed, I'd totally try the Cannonball run.

[@pwrightisright8611]

No video of the Dukes of Hazzard exit ramp jump?!

[@jeoboden]

None of this would have went wrong had he prepared though?

[@VINwiki]

Correct. Preparedness and things going well are certainly linked closely.

[@biggypoppa2294]

VINwiki but then we wouldn't have a great story

[@meandkg]

[@mambamax8627]

I love these type of videos, you wait for it man you will blow up soon, and i will be one of the first 14k

[@ygtcbee23]

This is a hilarious tale but why did an unprepared team go 3rd when Arne Toman had a legit chance at the record? It's like weekend runners starting 1st in the NY Marathon...

[@clintgliford9941]

Shame that E36 couldn't make the trip. I feel like it was a more properly engineered product (other than the South Carolinian's modifications).

[@kd1s]

I blew a tire with a Dodge Van - at 80MPH. That was interesting. And regards the truckers - no easy countermeasure for that.

[@Precisionhack]

Well if you did go to jail... you definitely would know your role as husband or wife 😳😂 also this is my favorite new channel !

[@blindmonkey9999]

Why would you tell a cop you were doing a cross country race? I guess he saw the fuel tank but even then "we were doing a study on different fuels" could have worked

[@PanzerMan332]

Well the 2904 is still legal, otherwise it would have been shut down.

[@napoliansolo7865]

Yeah, I agree. Never admit to any type of guilt. This is from a person who was deemed a "habitual offender" . (Being 63 now, I drive much more conservatively.

I like this channel. Hope it grows.

[@WafflePlaneRC]

I'm surprised the cops let him go after they realized he was racing, and had illegal detectors to boot.

[@kilikus822]

Because the money comes from pulling over teenagers with pot...

[@APsupportsTerrorism]

Radar and laser detectors are legal in OK... everywhere but VA. Maybe he meant a laser jammer, but those are typically concealed as part of install. Either detail remembered wrong or cop is bullshiting trying to initmidate w/ misinfo.

[@barfy-man3628]

One of my new favorite channels.

[@VINwiki]

[@brettbilger1390]

Great story. I had no idea there will still races like this going on.

[@hughjanus7029]

God this channel is great, all I could recommend is some sound foam on the wall, to reduce the echo even more than the new mic.

[@null2470]

Truck drivers tend to have the most neglected vehicles with the most selfish drivers around where I live. I had one almost sideswipe me off an exit because I blew his doors off five minutes earlier when his trailer started spitting large pieces of tire into the front of my car and all over the road. He just kept driving on completely oblivious to it and pissed off. I've known some quality people who were professional truck drivers, but I've seen way too many do stupid, dangerous, or aggressive things on the road for me to have any respect for the profession itself.

[@JDFelda]

and that's why we drag race in oklahoma

[@Armour783]

A) Why did you willing admit to racing on the highway to a cop and B) why did you not know that radar detectors are only illegal in Virginia and D.C. Amateur

[@dancowartjr]

I was so tired at that point he probably said laser jammer in reference to the noises and since I did not have one, (it would have put us over budget) I just assumed or thought he said radar. I was pretty fried. And I agree, this attempt was the result of an amateur, and I learned a lot. I did not prepare enough in time, but I had to go.

[@DatL24]

completely late and not entirely related, but I will have to be driving from Sacramento (8 hours north of LA) to Atlanta (2,500 miles) next year in September for HotRod Drag Week, and I will have about 30 hours to do it due to long, loooooong term scheduling conflicts. I'll be having to do it by myself it looks like; any advice as to staying awake? Any other cannonball advice for the unexpected?

[@jaked5651]

This race is for amateurs. Don't be a dick

[@FlyingSpaceOstrich]

I'm picturing just how dangerous it must've been to pass those trucks by going through the off/on ramp at highway speeds

[@JDFelda]

also, radar detectors are most definitely not illegal in oklahoma.

[@bluecow10]

Great story

[@kameroncampbell7240]

More of this guy

[@pwp545r6]

Radar detectors are not illegal in Oklahoma, the state trooper lied to you. Only jammers are illegal, and they're illegal in all states.

[@codexic]

For the ad at the end Ed should do the voice. It'll be a lot less jarring. My meaningless 2cents.

[@Me-fj8sb]

Question, why you were not prepared, lack of time or lack of knowledge, don't get me wrong, but for a race like that, you gotta be ready, I'm a trucker and before I go back to work it's prep time, full maintenance of the truck, route, food, medication, clothing, plenty of cash, good rest, computer, phone, chargers, air compressor, hoses, belts, spare tire and some spare parts, oil, you name it, Second why NY and not Florida Jacksonville to LA same thing, Just random question to learn

[@brandoncaldwell95]

Ya that be my luck! Course i also would have been in jail..

[@gnarshread]

So what is the absolute worst case scenario for getting caught? its right to prison isn't it?

[@VINwiki]

Yes. Generally if you get caught at those kinds of speeds, jail is next.

Don't flatter yourself. The truck drivers didn't give a damn about you. Most trucks are all governed at the same speed, they were side-by-side because they were trying to pass each other. I see people driving like idiots all the time, it gets old.

[@Dafoodmaster]

why did you steal it

[@flexinclouds]

Am I the only one who caught how much of a tool this guy is? He said "the A8 was governed to 126mph, but because we had such large tires it allowed us to go 136mph" this made my brain hurt lol.
