Time Lapse: Durango CO to Silver City NM in 1800 mph Toyota Corolla

[goatman069]

I've made the trip between Farmington and Silver City a hundred times, at least. 371 south from Farmington, the jog over east of Grants and go south on 53 to 180. Faster, less miles! Cool video!

@goatman069 Thanks, I know that way. I considered it but kind of wanted to go the way I went in the vid, because I had not driven it for a while. Also, that stretch you mentioned is was bumpy last year. I hope they re-pave it. Thanks for watching!

Great video. Very nice of you to share your learning and techniques. thank you.

@Halunlimited Thanks, I'm a big believer in not just reading the web, but also sharing knowledge. Each of us knows something that will help others, and the Web is the best invention in the history of Mankind for sharing what we know with the world. BTW I'm still working on part 3 of the drive, but have been sidetracked by other projects. Please stand by!

I see you don't subscribe to keeping right...

[stevecrye]

@CptSchmidt Heh - very observant! On an empty road, I like to use all of it - habits from my mis-spent youth in AK.

[stevecrye]

@CptSchmidt I misunderstood your criticism when I first responded. I was distracted by the camera thing and was terribly guilty of staying in the left-hand lane, even though I was not going very fast. Rest assured I don't normally screw-up like that!

[HassanAlHajry]

I have one question, how does your camcorder battery last that long? o.o

[stevecrye]

@HassanAlHajry I have two, one the stock one that came with the camera, but I also bought an NPV-100 - huge capacity, runs the camera for about 6 hours. However, you can also get a car adapter for about $40.00 on Amazon. I have one now ... for the Durango vid I ran out of battery power . Stand by for Part 3 sometime next week!

you must have an AWESOME engine in that toyota to make it go so fast! you didnt happen to get any speeding tickets, did you?

[stevecrye]

@coronadopballer I was just a blur to the cops. The radar would beep, they would look up but I would be miles away by then! As far as the engine, just the little 80 horse stock 4-cyl. All you need in a light, streamlined car.

[coronadopballer]

@stevecrye very nice. maybe put some wings on the side and just go airborne next time!

[taofledermaus]

Mesmerizing! the little map was a really cool touch! Are we THERE YET!?

[stevecrye]

@taofledermaus Thanks ... We won't be there until the end of Part Three. I have not even started on the render of Part Two. (sigh)
