    As an Enterprise employee I would like to say, just because you see a bunch of cars on our lots doesn't mean all of them are rentable. I'm looking at close 25 right now that are sitting here needing a recall done. We also have a few that we are waiting on an outside detailer to come clean. There's some that the tag has expired and we are waiting on it to arrive. We have some that have damage. Then there are ones that need routine maintenance. So every car you see isn't necessarily rentable.

      I work at a body shop and Enterprise is top notch for our customers. Other national rental companies not so much. They will wait days to pick up their returned rentals from us to the point we charge them lot fees. Ridiculous!

    This is such a fun event! Every year new people come out and enjoy the sites of our beautiful state. And to top it all off, it generates donations for a local autism & children’s therapy center. And like all great events, the real prize at the end is the story and the friendships you make. That, and an MC Hammer doll 🤣

      @@TwinkBuster nice try law enforcement! seriously though its somewhat more open than some of the cannonball things but you have to have a proven track record of professional events and someone to vouch for you. the reason we all somewhat gatekeep these things is the same reason Brock Yates stopped the initial Cannonball. We HAVE to maintain the safety record, and that's not going to happen if you allow rando's in that you are not sure of their skill level or their familiarity with their machine so I apologize and am not trying to be a dick, but no, I cant.

    I don’t care what I happen to be driving on the interstate, at some point while I’m rolling along, I will move over to let a Nissan verza go scooting by. Out of nowhere, I look in my mirror and somebody will have one of those little cars wound tighter than a corkscrew and passing a line of cars. Haha

    Fun fact most new cars have something similar to a Blackbox on an airplane that stores your driving style and sells it to insurance companies making your coverage cost more.

    Curious which Hammer rout you did being that each year is different with different stops and different miles.
    It's hard to say fastest time when each year is a separate challenge. Your time was awesome however, and I commend your amazing skills and efforts.
