Chillin with JohnS.

[JohnS.]

why do you rev so high when you take off?

I don't. I only rev'd to 3k that one time in the beginning of part 2 by accident. Normally I'll rev to like 2-2.5k to take off from stops.

Lol, you drive like a lunatic... I DO however like the first song choice in the first vid. Also, where exactly did you get the ipod holder? I need one..

You consider that driving like a lunatic? I only go fast on the thruway. And most of my areas are 45 zones with no cops and people just drive 60 on them all the time since they're so open.

From the iPod store. It was their only new 3rd gen nano case at the time (when they first came out).

f**ken neat man, hey dude i got that same ipod for my birthday and i really want an armband for it and i cant find one anywhere, do you know where i can get one?

 

[Suanico]

you need to do s**t like pimp chicks on the road, go through drive thrus, race, and s**t like that for people to stay tuned!

. I DID record a bit yesterday before buying the 2GB card and I ended up going into the Wendy's drive through. But it died right when I went through to the little box to order. So I just deleted that recording and went out and bought a 2GB card later that day. I get fast food more than I should so I'll def be going through them.

As far as chicks go, there are none . It's getting cold here so no ones out anymore. But occasionally I do look at really hot milfs and such in other cars next to me . I wish I could get the camera on like a tripod with a remote that I can use to turn it with and look at something if I find it interesting.

I'll try to get the videos more interesting though but I can't promise that if there isn't anything interesting going on, you know?

Cool man, hey can you post a pic of how you have the camera in your seat? I would like to do that to my camera for the times that I go to the track. Thanks

I like that iPod holder too....do they have some for the regular iPod video's...???

 

[JohnS.]

^^ I have no idea.

Alright folks, here's the deal. Someone gave me a tip today and told me to use windows movie maker to size the movies down. When I record them on 320x240 and upload them to my computer, they're hundreds and hundreds of MB's. One of them from today was 650MB. But after sizing them down to about 30-50MB's, it took away quality. You can still see what's going on and hear the music, but just not as well. But this way, I can upload them MUCH faster and keep you guys updated.

The only problem is, is that windows movie maker exports the files as wmv format and the program I use (trial version) only allows to split into 2 minute movies. So there are gonna be A LOT of files for some of my longer drives (ie - day 2).

Oh and I'll edit my first post with how my camera is mounted.

 

[toneekay]

dam i wanna do that too, especially tomorow when i drive about an hour away to go pick up a hatch from the country side. it would be neeat!

Full 10/25/07 update up.

 

[Akiahara96]

that's kinda neat.. but damn, that's some boring scenery.

 

[Partizan]

I disagree lol. I love the fact that every street u went on was covered with trees.

So, is this upstate ny?

PS

Need more vtak action.

 

[JohnS.]

It's western NY. I live in Rochester. But the suburbs of it. So it's MUCH nicer than the city, hence the trees. I'm bored of my scenery lol. I wish I lived in a city. Like NYC. With HUGE buildings and tons of people. I love going to big cities. I guess for you city people, it's opposite.

And I would do more vt4k action but my cars old and my engines wearin pretty good. I drive slow for the most part as you can tell. Only when I'm pissed (like in part 5 I think when I passed the red truck blocking the intersection cuz he was waiting to turn left lol) or in a hurry do I take it up high.

 

[slowcivic E G]

i think this is a really cool idea, havent looked at all the vids, but maybe something cool will happen and you'll catch it on tape.

 

[toneekay]

imma go out and do it RIGHT NOW!

come see my street. not all of california is desert, you know.

i live in the city, though it's not nearly as big as SF, NYC, or LA... and i love it. i hated all the evergreen tree s**t in washington. booooorrriing.

you seem so quiet. i'd have to keep myself in check... i'd be singing or talking to myself or cursing at everyone. though i didn't watch all of them. it'd be nice if you weren't restricted to 2 min vids.

i totally want to do this.

 

[fliposopher]

where in ny do you live? there's like nobody in the damn streets

 

[toneekay]

lemme make a video and show you what a real motor can do.

Yeah I'm a quiet person. I can sing but I get stage fright. Can't do it in front of people or record myself. And I was actually kinda mumbling under my breath. I'm one of those drivers that doesn't scream and yell at other drivers. I'm the passive one that screams in their head. I'll try to change that though so the vids are more interesting .

Rochester. But I live in the suburbs / nicer part of the city in a quiet town. And it's freezing here. It's in the 50's lately. Plus I drive when most people are at work and high schoolers are still in school. So that's why no ones out either.

wtf is the point of talking s**t to someone doing, whats basically, a video journal of some sort. Grow up man.

Amej8, props to you. Lol i get aggrivated easily while driving, but i live in a much larger city with tons of morons that shouldnt be on the road (dont check their blind spot, no turn signals, tailgating @ 80mph, etc. etc.). I dont yell at the top of my lungs, but i tend to talk to myself lol.

2-2.5k to take off? that is rather high.

I get my civic movin from 1200-1600 even with the racing clutch, i get my truck movin from about those same rpm's as well. You should set goals with things you want to change about your driving habbits, and try to accomplish them while you drive.
