As a car guy, I can relate, but I also can't help but wonder what modern cars will be "rare old cars" or "classics" in thirty years. These people riding around in these cars when they were new were seeing them as just a car, like modern car owners view their modern cars. It's just a car, will drive it until I want something else or it dies, then off to the scrap yard. I own a truck that would have been three years old when this video was recorded. An 85 Nissan 720. It has seen better years for sure. Funnily enough, it came from somewhere in the southwest, so there is a slight chance it wasn't too far away from where this video was recorded when it was recorded lol.

Yes, that is a sad truth; even back then in 1988, there were bad drivers. The only difference between 1988 and now is that 2020 brings us even more technology in our cars to promote even worse driving. I would hate to be behind the wheel in a hypothetical world where we had the technology to make a Tesla as fancy as they are now back then. Fully automatic driving systems would not only be commonplace, but the Tesla Supercharger network would also be far more widespread as it would have had more time to evolve as well.

@@MacReviewzOnline Nothing out of the ordinary happened, expectations were just insane, we have to consider reality when aiming high. Unless we figure out a levitation system that eliminates noise and prop wash, flying cars are dead. We technically already have flying cars, had em for a long time, they're called helicopters. The problem with those is that they're insanely loud so you can't just take one to your suburb house, they require a fair amount of training to fly, and they're just not practical when scaled up to the level of cars. People think of The Fifth Element when talking about flying cars. How do those cars fly? Some anti-gravity shit that won't exist for a long time. We also need AI to fly them for us so we don't run into each other, and we're still working on AI driving cars on a two dimensional plane without them taking out an unsuspecting cyclist.

I spent half my life driving these roads and not only recognize the roads and landmarks but also the radio stations, news and traffic reporters, and music delays, even some of the advertisements. Before cds, mp3s, mobile phones the radio was the heartbeat of the freeway. Everyone carried paper maps and Thomas Bros was the best. If you got lost you would pull off the road and find a coin operated pay phone to get directions. That thing on the dash isn’t a phone holder, it is a paper holder for handwritten notes or driving directions.

Why was this so interesting to watch? It's literally just some random guy driving home from work which I presume. I just watched through this after reading Jalopnik's article about it and didn't think I'd watch through the entire 31 minutes of it but I certainly did. There's also not one song he played on his radio as he kept changing the channels that I didn't like. So nostalgic. Times certainly have changed and how I wished I could travel back to this time period.

To think, as a 10 year old kid, riding my bike (mostly pushing) it up the mounds and mounds of dirt, finally reaching the top where this beautiful new bridge was being built, AT GRADE LEVEL. I wondered how cars would fit under a bridge that's eye level. Of course, months later they dug the dirt out from under the bridge some 25 or more feet and paved the new San Diego Freeway going up the pass from the San Fernando Valley and that bridge would become the Mulholland Highway bridge, a masterpiece of engineering and; if you were northbound on the 405, a grand gateway to the beautiful San Fernando Valley beyond. Some days, from that vantage point, you could actually see the Busch Gardens and the huge fermentation buildings housing the Budweiser's and Busch beers we so fondly consumed. At that time, the 405 southbound ended just beyond Sunset and dumped onto Sawtell Ave to Olympic, where the 405 picked up again. I loved the valley then, but probably due to the 405 and other modern improvements, it became an apartment jungle and the quality of life from sheep and cow and ag farms to mixed development, which beckoned me to long for other towns ....eventually settling in Manhattan Beach. That beach city is no wide open space, but that outlet to the west makes it all worth while.

As a car guy, I am always fascinated by the rolling stock as an indication of the times. Lots of boxy, square cars and no SUVs in this period. You see the driver directly behind an early '70s Trans Am at the beginning and a high-end Porsche as he heads north, and an early Nissan Pathfinder as our driver approaches the Van Nuys Blvd exit from the 101. Curious to know what model car we are in for the ride...
