'Cause I totally couldn't change lanes if I suddenly saw another car on the deserted freeway.


I saw a beautiful car today.




I also saw a brand new BMW i8. The car is either one of the first to be sold since it's supposed to launch in Spring 2014, or it's a preproduction model that I just happened to see driving around Santa Monica. For those who don't know what this plug in hybrid looks like;


Strovbe:
my band and I are probably gonna use one of these babes as a tour van haha:

Ferrari 250 GT California Spider



'57 Chevy 210 Sedan



'55 Ford Thunderbird



Lamborghini Miura Roadster

i don't really give a stuff if you drive fast
but come on
don't deny that going 107mph in what you call 100ft visibility is stupid dangerous
100ft takes much less than a second to cover at 107mph
so you'll have less than a second to react to any sort of obstacle. and end up overcorrecting and rolling your prius

It's 100 feet of ambient visibility, meaning I can only see 100 feet of the road ahead. I could see taillights probably a thousand feet ahead, further if they are using their brakes.

And, for those keeping track, 1000 feet at 107mph takes 6.5 seconds to cover, which is enough to change lanes even in a Prius.
Fredulus:
cars arent the only obstacles in the road genius
and i dont know what kind of strange fog you have but i can't see taillights 10x further away than i can see the road in any fog around here... 2x or 3x maybe, but 10x.........? must be nice
