The funny thing about the Cannon Ball run is that it's not so much about how fast your car goes. Just that it keeps going.

Bolian got a warning -- and a healthy dose of relief that the officer didn't question the thick odor of fuel as he stood over the vents pumping fumes from the trunk.
Wow, things could have gotten ugly real fast with that (2 extra 22g gas tanks in the trunk).
