    New 48 State Driving Record

    I've always wanted to break this since I first ever read about it, and now someone has, driving an '05 Scion no less! I'm jealous of them that they got to do it but who knows maybe some day I can attempt this or at least make a drive like it.

    If anybody did it, it'd be him. It's a shame Guiness no longer recognizes these records. I don't know that these guys sped incredibly, I mean I'm sure they had to go pretty fast but whatever its still an achievement.

    That's pretty cool. Not that I doubt their time, but who was there to officially verify that they did it in the time that they claimed?

    If anybody breaks the record, it will be him.
    Whether Guiness will recognize it is another question.

    They apparently had their website going the whole time, with live blogs, pics and even GPS to prove they went to all the states.
