I mean, it takes NASCAR 3 hours to get to 500 miles. That's with a pit crew keeping your car running and not every car finishes. Sure some crash but most of those failures are like, tires or engine failures.
Cars just aren't made to do that.
It would take a minimum of 12.5 hours to get to 1000 miles without stopping at 80 miles an hour.
After 8 hours a 30 minute break is required. We're at 13 before we calculate in stopping and refuelling, non highway miles, accelerating, and traffic.
At the absolute fastest speed he can legally go.
Dude's breaking the law somewhere. Or he's exaggerating. Or, much more likely, he's having multiple people rack up miles pretending to be him.
Either way, fuck Hertz, like they have cause they can just kick him off the program. They ain't gotta bring the law in to it.
What about a brick on the accelerator?
That'll take you all the way to the scene of the crash
I'm talking about when it's propped up on a car lift or something.
