Sort of reminds me of the refrigerated, semi tractor trailer trucks that have three drivers on-board ..... and they drive a full load of fresh strawberries from somewhere in California, back to Boston, in 36-hours.
Impossible, can't be done by a semi-truck.

You might be thinking of the original so-called "cannonball run."

Brock Yates and Dan Gurney drove a Ferrari Daytona coupe cross country

in a hair less than 36 hours.

They averaged 80 miles per hour and, on one deserted stretch, reached a top

speed of 172 miles per hour.

They made it from Manhattan to Redondo Beach, Calif., in 35 hours and 54 minutes.
