Whoa that's really you? Not that I doubted your skills, but I thought it sounded exactly like the song and was a special version I hadn't heard. I'm very impressed! Rock on dude!

Appreciate it man. This is actually played a little different than the original as you might notice. This is based on a cover John Petrucci did of the solo. So im basically playing an altered version that john petrucci did of the solo. Im glad you liked it.

Well I made this while I left work one day when I didn't have internet. The audio is horrible and you can hear my idle control going nuts but. I was bored so I made the video anyway.
I planned on making another one tomorrow but I will be car pooling instead of driving myself so.... no beach drive video tomorrow

You were driving so fast that the cars moved out of your way.
Did you just set a camera or your phone on the dashboard?

I wasn't even driving fast, everyone else was just driving so slow.
No, I have a camera clamp mount. I can film my drive without interruption to my hands.
I want to get a suction cup mount so I can stick the camera on the fender and film outside the car one day.

I have a tripod, but I take turns way to fast to have a tripod sitting on the seat.
I am in a low car, I can make those quick turns.

No, a seat belt is to keep me strapped into my seat so I can make those turns with precision.

Maybe if you got a carseat for your tripod and camera you could take those turns and your camera be safe.

If I get a car seat, that means I am putting something more precious than a camera in it. It also means I will no longer drive as I do now.
I drive for conditions, if the road is dry and visibility is fine, I will drive a little faster and a little more freely than if the roads are wet or visibility is suffering.
If I have a car seat, I won't risk damage to the precious cargo that would be in it. At any point.
I can drive like "an old lady" when I need to, I just don't when its just me.

I spent most of it trying to figure out what roads you were on. It looked like 146, HWY 3 at one point, Bay Area Blvd. at one point, 517 or 518 at one point, and NASA Rd 1.

Wasn't on HWY 3, I was over by Seabrook/Kemah area so I figured I would shoot. Mostly I was up 146 but I did hit 517 or 518, I can't remember. That was about 3 weeks ago and I wasn't paying much attention to where I was going. I had a full tank of gas and the rest of the day off.... Not to mention nothing to do at home other than unpacking..... I was in no rush.
After my stomach started saying "Feed me Seymour" that I made a B-line to a Jack in the Box.

Well I'm glad that you will drive safer with "precious cargo". That reminds me of my brother. We were driving around with our cousins in the car and my brother was saying that he was driving extra safe because of the precious cargo.

An elderly lady gave me a ride home from church one. She drove so fast I was scared. She had a new car, I think she told me it was a rabbit.. It was a fast rabbit.

So... depending on what "soon" means. I wonder how many puppies you will have to kick per second.

Yes, I drive a bit "freely", but thats only if it's just me in the car. I know I can do it, I just weigh the risks. If something happens to me. Oh well, my own fault.
Well, ride in the car with my sister. You would NEVER be afraid of anything ever again.
Ill just kick one, the puppy that peed on my leg.

The puppy just liked you and was claiming you as it's owner. You should be flattered.

Why have I been peed on twice then?
Both times I was talking to people that had their dogs with them.
I get to talking, then..... why is my foot and leg suddenly warm and wet?
Oh no you did NOT just pee on me!

It's because they didn't like their owners and wanted you to be their new owner. Or they though you were a tree or something.

It's because they are confident that you are their owner. I was walking my dog once with my bike, and we saw a puppy. So my dog peed on my bike to claim me as her owner and to keep the puppy away. I think it must have been a moment of insecurity. :p I was so glad I brought my bike.

Nice video Toro. Now I know how you drive!
For some reason I always enjoy watching the driving videos that others have been posting here, lol.
