When I was growin’ up in the 50s and 60s, my family took lots of cross country road trips, and I vividly remember takin’ old Route 66, and all the other typical two lane highways, before the days of the four lane super highways, which bypassed and made obsolete, the roads I so vividly remember . . . so on my trip to Vegas this week I again took the “Road Less Traveled”, so headed over to the southeast end of California to travel on this old two lane road. The “real” speed I was goin’ was 85mph in a 65mph zone (with the help of a GREAT radar/laser detector to save me from gettin’ speedin’ tickets! LOL), and the speed I was goin’ when I got behind the other car was only around 75mph, so the “virtual” speed when I increased the video speed in this video is three times those speeds, or roughly between 225mph and 255mph, to increase the fun "roller coaster" effect of the old road.
The song is “These are the Days of Our Lives” by Queen.
