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.

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.

There's also not one song he played on his radio as he kept changing the channels that I didn't like. So nostalgic.

Great memories for me. I was 20 and had just moved to San Diego for school but made that trek up the 405 many a time. Some observations: 1) On a Friday at 6pm, it may take twice as long now to make this same trip to Van Nuys Blvd. 2) At 12:10, you'll notice a cylindrical building on the west side of the 405. It's the old Wang Labs building and it was turned into apartments/condos. I believe you can see it from the hills above from a scene in the movie, To Live and Die in LA. Speaking of the hills above.... 3) I would've lost a bet about the Getty being built at this time. Seems like you can clearly see the trolley track going up the hill on the left. I didn't think construction started until the 90's. 4) There's a good chance you would hear "We're Not Gonna Take It" by both the Who and Twisted Sister on 94.7 KMET and 95.5 KLOS (and maybe 105.5 KNAC) but not 97.1 KLSX in the 80's. 5) KMET turned into "The Wave" in 1987 as radio started its slow and painful demise. 6) This driver is very courteous. Going north on the 405, I was one of "those guys" that stayed to the left and then cut over to the 101 transition as late as possible. Home for me was Ventura county, so I'd head north (really west) unlike this driver. 7) I was a KNX 1070 listener more than KFWB 980. But really I'm reminded how much everyone flipped between AM and FM. Anyone remember XTRA, the Mighty 690, a 50k watt blow torch from Tijuana? Or KWST 106 (really 105.9) before Power 106? Or KTNQ 1020? OK, I'll stop now...

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.
