  • Daniel dreamed of one day making an attempt at the Cannonball record. When he heard about The 2904, he thought it was the perfect chance to see what he was capable of. Reality failed to live up to the expectation!

    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.

      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.

    My cat, after he comes back in from a walk outdoors, always tells me and my wife a story. We don’t understand exactly what he says, but I can tell you one thing: he tells a better story than this jack.

    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.

    His storytelling is about as lackluster as his personality.
