That thing books?

I was watching a movie and I came across this, "I can get you there on time. I got my dad's Volvo, that thing books"
What does this phrase "that thing books" mean?

Probably an Americanism then. Origin unknown. By me anyway.

Edit: Found this in a non-American publication, so it must have worked its way across the pond.

Goal kick for the attacking keeper even now booking it back to his net. (guardian.co.uk)


to book it (somewhere) ~ to hurry/run (there)
