Take a ride with me...
Highlights of my late night commute back from the city... I did go a bit faster than usual for the purposes of this video, but I do always enjoy screeching around onramps if they are clear of traffic

Very nice video Thomas. You have pretty good street there. I hope I can go that fast. Here, in Venezuela I have to be looking at the street trying to avoid hole, our street sucks!!! Hole everywhere. Can I get all those hole in my GPS? LOL.

So, is there a speed limit or are you ignoring it the way you're flying by everyone else? lol
That was neat. I didn't realize your steering wheel and driving were on the other side of the road. =) I saw more big cars than I exptected...not sure WHAT I was expecting, really! It's very cool we get to see that...some of us wouldn't otherwise.

How fast were you going? And the ride looks a little brutal. Do you visit your chiropractor a lot? LOL.

Cool video Thomas, thanks for sharing your commute with us.
What camera mount are you using?

Can we get some closeups and details about your gauge cluster in front of your steering wheel? That's what I found interesting! Thanks

What's the rightmost red gauge doing? looks like it's moving up and down a lot -- beginning of the vid.

What the heck happened at the end?! My head started tilting to the left as if trying to get the camera to straighten up...
I think I'm gonna do something similar soon.
