I can't drive... 55!
Those of you that know me in real life know how I have a habit of driving kinda fast. Two speeding tickets later, and I'm holding back a bit (I try not to go over 75, and definitely not over 80 anymore). However, I still love me some fast driving.
This is the scariest and most fascinating driving footage I've ever seen. The story behind it: "Director Claude Lelouch, after filming a movie in Paris, found he had 10 minutes left of film. He then challenged a friend (who to this day is still unnamed) to drive from Porte Dauphine, through the Louvre, to the Basilica of Sacre Coeur (a trip that can take up to an hour in rush-hour traffic) without running out of film. He mounted the camera to the hood of his Ferrari 275 GT/B, mounted the mike to the engine, and away he went.
No streets were closed. No permits were granted. Those are real red lights he's running, real cars he's overtaking, real pedestrians he's scaring the shit out of. Upon first showing the video, Lelouch was promptly arrested by the French authorities, and the film went underground. He has still refused to name the driver." - Civil_Disobedient via Metafilter
Then there's this - which is the same kind of scary driving, but this time on a motorcycle.
So, for all of you people out there that criticize my driving, be glad I'm not crazy like those guys.
