Fast and Furious: Tamed Version

I love driving.
Living in NYC I miss it.

Maybe that's the reason why
I began to ask some of my friends
to document their driving.

As I started to receive their videos
I noticed that beyond the rush of the virtual sensation,
I was getting glimpses of their moods
which, of course, I loved.

The music in the background,
the locations chosen
and the moments in which they decided to turn the video on
were contributing to my putting some pieces together
and feeling connected to them.

It might be too early to turn this into a sociological study.

So for now, whether for the rush of it
or for the curiosity of seeing new locations around the world,
the result is a neat virtual ride
through unknown streets
and in most cases ; ) a good soundtrack.

The first ride takes us to beloved Madrid, Spain.

Thank you, ilosabes.

Buckle your seatbelt.















I would love to receive videos from others.

If at any time, you feel the urge to turn the video on
and record what you see, listen or are experiencing behind the wheel
(whether it is the wheel of a car, motorbike, bike, boat, etc)
 always keeping in mind that this is a PG web site,
 feel free to forward them to me (spain.silvia@gmail.com).


Please note that all the recording
was carried out in a safe manner
and that no human, animal or other living creature
was hurt in the making.
