    Love the timelapse and the tune.
    It's like The Rockford Files, with more 'tache.
    It could be the magical Magnum/Rockford combo I've always been waiting for. #interstate5

    @Battles: An observation this crucial and insightful deserves multiple posts. It might be enough to make me reconsider my derision of Magnum. #interstate5

    @Van Sarockin, rogue trebuchet: There's a lot about Magnum to be derided, don't doubt yourself.
    How could one character need so many cliched sidekicks?
    Both a straight guy (Higgins) and a clown (the small douche who hung around TC but didn't have a matching chopper/van combo)? #interstate5

    @smrtypants44: You have no choice on I-5- the right lane is solid trucks for hundreds of miles. The real problem is the SUVs going 62 in the left lane while an endless line of trucks goes 61 in the right. #interstate5

    Amazing, how Leaverman and Murilee really are twin sons of different mothers.
    I like the time lapse stuff--I cross one very cool bridge every day, with an old brick smokestack coming out of trees--I was going to take a picture every day when I crossed and then montage them together but then, oh, well, there was traffic to worry about and I forgot most of the time or a truck was in the way and it pretty much never happened. #interstate5

    Great, and the meter of the soundtrack hooks right in.

    Als0: Since the site seems to have 'mislocated' the relevant post, I'll take this opportunity to say thanks for the star. Thanks. I'm stoked way out of proportion to the monetary wealth it will bestow upon me, but I swear to you this: I'll use my newfound powers for good, and not evil. #interstate5

    @Murilee Martin: I'm slightly disappointed that you haven't got an mp3 of it up - would've liked for the entire song to join the Negativland and other passenger-bewildering material. (I'm assuming it doesn't simply cut off like that.) #interstate5

    @quesavoysavoy: Massachusetts puts up signs telling you to keep right except when passing. Well, the traffic wasn't bad when I went down to Northampton on Saturday - and I kept left for much of it. I always tried to have someone going faster than I was, whenever possible, of course.

    (Translation: If there's nobody faster behind me and someone ahead of me, there's not much point in moving over.)

    I did a similar thing for my film class, except I drove the entire Garden State Parkway (for the record, one of the roads named in the "top ten worst states to drive across" feature) and sped it up to 6 minutes. #interstate5

    That reminds me of this music video. It's guaranteed to make you want to go on a road trip. It was a viral before YouTube existed, which probably explains why I can't find any high quality versions. #interstate5

    In the bazillion times I've done this drive, I've always wanted to pick some random exit around Lerdo and just drive west on the farm roads.


    I figure I'll either:

    A) Wind my way into/over the hills to a secluded beach.

    B) End up on a dead-end road in some dude's pig farm

    C) End of on a dead-end road at a secret government installation*.


    *disguised as some dude's pig farm.
