Can’t thank you enough Ed for allowing me to sit in that chair and have a nice chat. Your channel inspired me, hope this video inspires others to pursue their dreams too.
It was a pleasure hearing your story. Glad the circle has been completed so nicely for now =)
I love your story I hope Ed has you back on :)
I NEED to know your forever secret about how to avoid getting a ticket, of any kind, for triple digit speeds!!!
Just tell me it was prayer or something like that so I can sleep! Gah lee
It inspired me too!! I did a semi-solo coast to coast test run in April with my kid and did 32 hrs! I drove a 5spd 2003 Celica GT averaging 28 mpg.im going to make another attempt next spring. I'll be sitting in that chair one day!
Kudos man! I'm gonna have to pick your brain before I do my run (date yet to be determined). But I have a feeling in the next year or two I'm gonna have to take a shot at your record! 🤩👍
No Mustang. No EMG. No Audi.
A humble guy in a Prius.
One of the greatest stories ever told here. 🏁
Oh I'll never be able to afford to do this... Prius in the garage starts glowing.
Did u mean Amg? I even looked up emg to see if I was missing something...
Goofy
Dunno what an EMG is, but I love your comment regardless 👍
I have a Prius and let me tell you, when you going flying past a cop in heavy traffic they always go after the other guy. My Prius is one of the best cars I've ever owned. Many of my friends laughed when I bought it. I have always driven 911's, M3's, Mercedes. I do keep my M3 for fun weekends and road trips, but the Prius is my daily. I've made runs from Augusta to Atlanta averaging over 90 mph and still have more than half a tank. Meanwhile my M3 will suck down all the gas and need a refill. I'm inspired!
Damn, a solo run with no stops(for fuel).Amazing
Or toilet brakes.... Oh boy.
I thought he didn’t stop at all I could be wrong
@@tambrody2684 I think he mentioned stopping to clean his windshield
@@cpt_nordbart depends and a 2 liter empty soda bottle. Lol
@@carlosoruna7174 or apparently a funnel and a hole drilled in the floor😂😂
everybody on the highway thought he was an uber driver in a hurry.
Exactly.
ain’t no body calling the cops on a prius 🤣
And even if it goes 100+ past you, you wouldn’t think a Prius CAN go that fast
@@IraqVet0608 I’d be like my speedometer is broken 😂
Frfr, clocked my car at 120mph, I swear I was only going 60 mr. Officer
You know he’s old school when bro kept the radio off
Any power would be fuel loss
He does like cake though which is cool, I wouldn't have guessed.
@@DungeonMetal well yes but seriously how much fuel would the radio use? I wouldn’t think any meaningful amount but I could be wrong.
Prius doesn't work like that. Going highway speeds you rarely use the battery, so going 100mph, it's not doing much.
I've never done a Cannonball, but on long drives I tend to turn the radio down for some reason.
Imagine getting passed by a Prius go in 95 mph on the interstate and the bottle of piss smacks your windshield.... Lmao 😂😂😂
Or it was draining out that tube and starts to “wash” your windshield! 💀
@@nimue325 as a biker that gets pissed off by other people's windshield fluid, it can be worse. trust me!
It's just about the same color as my CL55! That must be the secret.
I'll let you drive my 208 gti if you let me drive your CL55
Hello ed boilan
🤣
More like this Ed
Blue cars are faster than red. Secret revealed!
A lot of people complain about the Cannonball content, but this stuff is my favorite. Seeing the many different ways these guys solve a challenge is infinitely interesting.
The absolute beauty of this channel is there is usually something to interest most enthusiasts.
I’d rather this over yuppies droning on about some HyperCar. Ed can talk about a hypercar all day and I’ll listen but many on here are ridiculous
Cannonball content is the best part of Vinwiki channel IMHO. A car is just a tool, the drive is the adventure.
I love my ‘69 911S it’s a hoot
But my wife’s Prius Prime is the giant killer in the family haha
Agree, I clicked for this.
I really don't care about someone who pulled out a checkbook for some supercar. There are very few supercar people I care about.
I love how he randomly throws in allegedly to some things
This guy is a total gangster. How the heck did he get out of a 3 digit speeding ticket in 5 minutes?!
😏
One of the most down-to-earth and relatable guests you've had on! Great job, Jay!
Jay is an old friend of mine and just like you see in this video, he's one of the kindest most humble people you could meet.
So happy for him!
Of all the Cannonball stories, this is the one that I think has the true spirit of the event. To drive fast, safely, with little attention.
This has to be one of the best stories ever told. Man went from watching the channel like you and me, achieving a massive goal and lived to tell us of his amazing feat.
This fellow seems like a class act of the 1st order - so glad that he could make this run and very happy that he gets to share it with all of us! Congrats, Jay!
That's the most wholesome first 60 seconds of any Vinwiki video ever
It's a tribute to how good cars have gotten that you can do this in an affordable car
Yes, but simply getting that car doesn't make you a contender. This guy is unassuming but his skill in planning, preparations and execution is extreme. This story is really inspirational.
Finally a good use for a Prius. Cool guy, good story teller!
Prius' are actually fantastic cars. Hyper efficient and/or reliable cars are unsung heroes of the car community.
@@atticus6572yeah and litteraly hundreds if not tousands of people have been overlanding/living in Prius for a decade already 😂
It has legendary reliability and a replacement battery costs 1/10 the price of a Tesla battery. It's the perfect commuter car for city traffic, the engine will outlast the odometer, no cows were harmed in making the seats, and its ugly shape acts as a cop repellent.
@@marc-andreservant201 The battery is barely larger than 1/20th the size of the ones in a Tesla, so I'd hope that they're much cheaper!
I love my Prius
Power is nothing without control
It is a nice contrast to my MFI Longhood
Such a soft spoken guy, such a good story. Can tell how much enjoymentioned he got out of the experience and how grateful he was to sit in the same chair of the guys we all watch and look up to
An amazing story! I did Phoenix to Bentonville, Arkansas over two days with a drive time of 16 hours. I can’t imagine driving 34 hours straight, the mental toughness it requires is crazy and I can’t imagine.
That's cool that he set the goal and achieved it after his second try and in a Prius no less. Definitely like the style of no stops for gas I would love to see a team crew do this just to see if they could smash the current record since it's 5min per stop roughly
It’s crazy how time ads up. Rode 1187 miles to Florida from Michigan on my bike. Had to stop 11 times for fuel, took me 10mins tops for fuel and drinking some water. But that added almost 2 hours to my time! Crazy!
Absolutely fabulous story and a lovely guy to boot. Many congratulations on the record run!
Congratulations Jay! You did a fantastic job and proud to call you a friend!
You need to sit in that chair my friend!
Def need Steve on the channel.
Smart move to take the Southern Route... I suspect the Prius would dramatically increase fuel consumptions in the mountains of Colorado... making refueling necessary.
So glad to be able to call you a friend. Congratulations on the amazing runs all around
Thanks brother!
Great to hear this story! The details of avoiding the speeding ticket would have been great too!!
My guess is a ready wad of about $2000
😂
@@gonzoprius3589 statutes of limataions probobly has something to do with it LOL
"You got this thing over 100? I'm not even mad, that's amazing!"
-the cop, probably
Probably gave him the super gluck-gluck 9000
You can't tease us with a story about beating a ticket over 100 and keep it a secret.
You gotta come back on the channel and tell that story!
Maybe there’s a statute of limitations to consider before telling the story? Statute or not, I’m betting it’s creative and entertaining. Would be fun secretly hear what it was.
He has a sticker on the rear quarter panel which says "Emergency Medical Delivery". Wouldn't surprise me if he kept calm, provided a short, concise, plausible story, possibly scripted based on location; most officers would probably him that slide due to his demeanor. Attitude and looks weigh heavily on interactions, I've been let off the hook more than not during traffic stops; also having certain credentials helps.
I think the real win is estimating within 15 minutes of your total trip time, even though you kind of planned it that way. It's still very impressive.
I gotta admit, the clean message of cannonball is really great. Can’t imaging the cramps felt along the long the way. Mad props good sir.
rv best
More of this, please. This is what it’s all about; Watching Cannonball Run as a kid and then, being introduced to stories on this forum, along with our favorite car mag’s when we were young and seeing those dreams of competing only against ourselves and the community. This is the dream.
What a story. Well done! Once I drove the entire way from Berlin to the small town 50 kms from Riga (in the direction opposite to Berlin from Riga, but at that point any additional or subtracted 50 kms didn't count) here in Latvia, my home-country - without stopping - alone - which was a memorable experience. What kept me from sleeping was a large bottle of regular Coke - and loud music. Anyway. Been listening to these Cannonball stories and enjoying them. The next record-attempting guys (or girls... but... most probably guys) should keep in mind that any stop for fuel - basically negates most of the speed you can make, even if the stopping time is shortened to an absolute minimum. Which is why you should evaluate a powerful but economic diesel (the bimmer 535d Touring comes to mind) - with additional let's say 300 litres of diesel fuel in an additional tank. If you tune the vehicle, you can get close to supercar speed and acceleration - and still maintain very low fuel usage - plus, the car will still provide plenty of space for 2-3 people and all the gear. All that means you should be able to cover the entire coast-to-coast non-stop - with a lesson from this gentleman - to rig additional container for windscreen washer - which shouldn't be complicated. All in all - there's still room to grow (or shrink, to be precise) for the records. Thanks for the video, best of luck from Latvia.
What a great guy. I love his delivery. Also calmed me down after a mild argument I just had. Thank you for sharing!
Wow, Dude❗ You hit the big time. You got BOTS❓ Whoda thunk?
I love how he never explains what a cannonball is
I feel like using a racing-style windscreen tear off could make a ‘safety stop’ that much faster. Just open the door tear off the top layer and keep moving.
No, the solution is obviously to fit extra screenwash tanks!
@@handpaper6871 i think the issue is how the windshield washers work at 100+ mph. Probably not well.
This a genuine enthusiast. Seems like a cool guy. And probably the only time I’ll use the words Prius and awesome in the same sentence but… that is a pretty awesome job done by a Prius
Great to hear someone who actually did this, unlike the guy with the rental mustang who made it up...
If all Prius drivers were like Jay they would be cool and wouldn't have such a bad rep. Prius drivers pay attention, this is how to properly own a Prius. Congrats Jay!
Im annoyed by some prius drivers too.
Altima drivers are worse

Cannonball content is what originally brought me to Vinwiki and I'm so happy to see it return. what an incredible story of what one man and a car that no one ever thought could be "cool" could do . just phenomenal and very inspiring as well . I hope to also one day sit in that chair and tell my own story as doing a cannonnal has been a dream of mine for the past 20 years. I hope to see more Cannoball down the road , it never falls to impress and inspire .
It’s just a car race. Get over it. There’s more important things in life.
Man what a humble and passionate guy.
What a great run!
I did 620 miles in 10 hours yesterday, in my 2014 Prius.
Zero issues, except the nut behind the wheel was going to leak and there was no funnel 😁
I was just waiting for this video!!! I've been fascinated with the idea of a solo run, and there is hardly any information on it, this video was awesome! Congrats Jay!!!
cop was probably thinking "poor old man in the Prius must have just fallen asleep with the foot on the throttle, no way he meant to go so fast!" lolll
😂
I like his final point about Cannonball and how it shows that focused drivers can travel at high speeds safely. Great job on the run Jay.
You can feel the passion when he talks. Truly inspiring. Congratulations sir and well done.
As someone who did 1187 miles straight on my Victory Jackpot bike from Michigan to Florida… it was supposed to take 18hrs, but one wrong turn and some traffic bumped it to 21:30hrs!!! Crazy how much it’s affected on a long run!!! But yeah I did it straight, partied at Daytona, and cruised back for work… Dream is the cannonball one day.
Awesome story, absolutely one of the nicest guys in cannonball. Flawless run and beautifully summed up sir.
I want to see one done in a Chevy Cruze Diesel. I drove from Colorado to Idaho to visit my Grandparents in my 2014 Cruze Diesel set cruze to 90 mph for all of the parts that I could do that and passing people doing 100+ you know having a good road trip. Single tank, hand calculated 38.5 MPG only stopped once or twice but left the car running when I did stop. I think it'd be fun to see what it can do. The car will do 115-120 pretty easy it's governed to 124 mph though.
My butt hurts and my knees ache just thinking about sitting in a driver's seat that long. Congratulations!

I love the way if you look at how people do runs over time you can literally see how information is moving faster. We went from no prep, to disguises, to countermeasures, to prep with countermeasures, planes, and people physically on the road. Now we are using spreadsheets, minimum countermeasures, and the internet. Can't wait to see how it keeps evolving.
I spent roughly the same amount of time without sleep driving from Dublin Ireland to Cannes France with an overloaded car. It's only about half the rolling distance but includes crossing the Irish sea and the English channel. I also needed to refuel three times I think. Great story Man
Best story yet. Congratulations on your record drive what an awesome achievement. 🏁
Nice job Jay! I met you in a Spanish restaurant in western Virginia with my girlfriend and you had that same jacket on. Congratulations on the run.
Lol Spanish restaurant in West Virginia? Sounds gross.
I remember you.
Again, great job Jay it was a pleasure following you along. Wish my original plan worked out.
What I respect most about a solo run is physical accomplishment.
Im not saying its like mounting everest, or achieving some impressive military operation, but its the same idea of a human feat...
Grueling, simple in concept, hard in accomplishment, with layers of easily unseen thought and calculation.
mistakes are critical to the end result.
Something that would leave you fulfilled and proud, and something your family and friends would be proud to know you for.
Congrats on an impressive feat!
Happy to see Jay in the chair. One of the greats right there.
This is what VINwiki was created for. So good.
Absolutely incredible - and such a wonderful guy. Shows you don’t always need high end automotive exotica to achieve something great. An inspiration…..
Dirty windshield is a safety issue but 100+ mph isn't. Jesus is proud of you Ed.
Man this guy could make a fortune reading lullabies
congratulations sir! I like the whole back story. lots of of lessons there in what life is all about and how to live it.
Congratulations Jay.
It is an incredibly competent highway car the Prius. Not necessarily the most fun car to drive, but at 95 mph that doesn’t matter too much. Congratulations on your record breaking achievement.
What's not fun about gobbling up miles undetected? Haters don't try to block you and cops don't think to stop you - all because you're practically invisible!
Fantastic story and strong work Jay! Proud of you!!!
Such a great achievement for someone so interested in the cannonball! What an awesome story and definitely a well deserved outcome and experience for someone who seems so polite and humble; Congratulations, Jay!
Congrats on the run Jay! Top contender for silkiest voice on VINwiki, watch out Rabbit!
Bro got the cannonball record in a Prius what a guy 😂
Holy ****. I'm sitting here in a Prius and found myself wondering yesterday if it would ever be used in one of these records. Cops consistently look right through it. But the one I drive tops out at 117 mph which is just shy of the recent team average.
"I drove from New york to Los Angeles and all I got was my name on a Google document"
And a letter jacket for breaking the speed laws
Congratulations!!!! Good run sir.
The Cake reference is 🔥 what a cool chill dude.
This guy is awesome. I hope we see him again on VinWiki. Congrats to him on setting a record.
Prius was probably a secret weapon. What cop is going to believe that a Prius is speeding? But seriously, congratulations on a great achievement, and kudos for the humble way you told us your story.
Ed's Wife: I bet he is out Cheating...
Ed: C A N N O N B A L L
I love this man’s approach and thought process. I have a dream to make the coast to coast run solo in my 03 Mustang GT. I’ve driven the car 1,800 miles over the past week just crisscrossing Pennsylvania from Philadelphia where I live to western Pennsylvania
Time splits in real life crossing those state lines that's is beyond impressive
Instantly hit the like button when he quoted Cake. Absolutely the cherry on top.
That is an incredible story, good for you man
so nice to listen to someone so humble
Doing the Cannonball run is for sure on my bucket list!
I think getting across the country with no fill ups alone is quite an accomplishment.
the lyrics.........., he's going the distance , HE'S GOING FOR SPEED , she's all alone , all alone in HER time of need
I really wish there was a picture of how that windshield looked I can only imagine how fast of a job cleaning that windshield was it's like that one spot in the snow
Great to see his passion about the cannonball, loved the video!
This guy is a gent! Nice work!
I love the unexpected Cake reference. Great story! Thank you!
What a pleasant man, glad you followed your dream. The way you speak is if words were velvet, thanks for sharing with us
WOW... I have a feeling that the officer was super cool and was secretly cheering you on. 🤙
The Cake quote ❤ The Distance is a fantastic tune.
I cant actually believe someone referenced cake during a story. One of my favorite bands and going the distance is my favorite driving song(contender for alot of clutch songs)
This is a great accomplishment
and kudos to him for being humble and honest.
I love that the v1 is still a killer detector. I still use mine.
If this gentleman is a member of RDF and uses JBV1, he probably has a V1 Gen 2, which is even more killer than the Gen 1 ever was. I almost ended up with one!
Congratulations , you joined a VERY Special group . Thank You for a fine story
I absolutely love Vin wikis Cannonball tubes. I watch them all. Thank you. More more more.
Top 5 VinWiki stories. Love the humbleness!!
Love this guys whole take on this
I have always wondered about the theoretical cannonball time with a really efficient vehicle and this must be in that line. Exactly what he said at 5:20. With the E-cvt the car has, the efficiency stops once your rev past the maximum torque point so I guess 100-110 is where it reaches that
Good job. Likeable guy. Great storyteller. Now i wanna Prius.
I was wondering for months when this dude was going to pop up on here, ever since I saw them fuel cells in the Prius.
What an amazing guy. Inspiring and humble. He had a dream and chased it.
Damn good job, my brother! I love your style! Congratulations!
This guy is awesome! Great job, sir!
