Driving 405 freeway North, 1988, 24 years before Carmageddon II - also watch Driving South in 1988

"Wrong way, stupid bitch" that is absolute gold!

Damn this guy had a vision of the future...recording himself driving

This guy was ahead of his time. Doing a dashcam with a freaking vhs recorder

As a car guy I’m just sitting here in amazement over all of the rare old cars which you can hardly find anymore, and imagining how most of them could be bought new during this time period.

Ah yes, getting pissed off at wrong way drivers 31 years ago still hasn't changed. A timeless annoyance.

Amazing how something so mundane in 1988 can be so enjoyable in 2017.

“Hey man, would you like to see year 2020?” He imagines flying cars, living on different planets, etc. when in reality the future is looking back at him in amazement. How ironic...

Look at all those 90 degree, right angles on the cars.

I'm 20 years old why did this make me feel nostalgic

Dude this guy was living in the future, he recorded a "POV" drive with a vhs recorder, and he also has a tennis ball hanging in the garage so as soon as it touches the windscreen he knows he's in the right spot... legend

Thanks for posting this. At 52, divorced, caring for aging parents, stresses at work, you took me back to a time when was full of hope and enthusiasm for life. It feels good too.

30 years later and here we are watching a guy drive down the 405 on YouTube. I was in highschool at the time getting ready to join the military. Now I work as a contractor and I'm sitting in my office halfway across the world in a small African country no one has ever heard of called Djibouti, this being the 10th country that I have lived in. Wonder where I'll be in the next 30 years. Life's amazing!

No FB, no instagram no cel, no internet - just you the radio and the freeway -

Hehe a notepad suction cupped to the windshield! Different than our phone holders on the windshield

first cars you see: Corvette and a Rolls Royce, pretty decent

You know you're old, watching these videos, when you can remember the mixture of cars like this driving on the roads. I got my driver's license exactly 2 weeks before this was shot.

1987 Toyota Celica

SUVS were rare in the 1980s, SUVS back then were the 2 door Ramchargers, Broncos, Blazers, international scout ,or the large Jeep wagoneer, suburban type of cars. And Minivans were rare too, the Chrysler vans and the ford aerostar were the first modern minivans and the jeep cherokee was the first modern suv

I wonder what got in his head to record a 30 minute drive down a freeway in 1988? It's like he was anticipating YouTube well over a decade before it's debut
