Cannonball Record

A Quick Tour of the World’s Greatest Road Trip Car!

Here is a quick tour of the car that we used to break the New York to LA Cannonball record. The pictures are of the car after we got it back. The car is a 2004 Mercedes CL55 AMG that began the trip with about 115k miles and finished with around 118k. I have owned the car since June of 2012. Here is a list of what we had in the car.
