This man claimed that they have driven to 48 states in 5 days... SALT LAKE CITY - Three men say they drove to 48 states in less than five days, ending their journey in the Four Corners area of southeastern Utah. The Four Corners destination allowed them to quickly hit four states — Utah, Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona. The men arrived there Thursday around 6:30 p.m., after driving for 106 hours and 43 minutes. They started in Vermont on Sunday. Josh Keeler, Adam Gatherum and Joey Stocking rode 7,000 miles in a 2005 Toyota Scion. They say their longest stop was 15 minutes for gas and a bathroom break. They spent more than $1,000 on gas. What do you think of that. I do not think that I could do that or even want to do that since if I take a break from driving, I would normally rest for at least 30 minutes... What do you think?

It must be very tiring also the price of gas is enough to tell me that I don't want to drive that long. I wonder why they would drive so much?

I wouldn't want to do it! But it's possible. If they went 59MPH the whole time with no stops, they could do it according to my math. But as speed limits are usually 65-75, they'd have time for brief potty breaks (although they probably used bushes a lot!) and to grab some food in a drive-thru. That doesn't really sound like any fun to me! I can't believe they did it in only 106.75 hours, it must've been very hectic!

There was 4guys, they could have easily shared the driving time. It would cut down on them being tired, and enable them to drive almost non-stop like too.
