Speaking of music, the soundtrack for Baby Driver is great stuff. Its interesting how different the original songs are from the rest of the soundtrack.

Haha, you are very welcome. Yup, from the Drive movie. Found it to be a very catchy tune, worked specially well for the night cruising scene, so why not do the same. (Saw it on a date night with the Mrs., guess why she wanted to see it ). Now I just need some "knuckle-less" driving gloves lol



Funny enough, I use spotify alot, specially at work. This "nightdrive"play list makes for good background work music, so Thanks as well!

Last night I wasn't really sure where to go, so I ended up deciding to go to this Yogurtland place that's like a 15 min drive each way from where I live, and then once I got there I just kept driving maybe 5 miles further because the major street had a 45mph speed limit and barely any traffic.

I dont even go anywhere. Maybe stop at a 7/11 or something to grab a drink but thats it. I love San Jose since there are so many freeways you can just cruise and get back to where you were a different way then the day before. I like driving in downtown just about anywhere with the buildings surrounding you.

By now i have driven through every small town within an 20 minute drive just exploring new areas. Just avoid smaller residential streets cuz itll probably freak someone out lol

Hah! was just listening to that spotify playlist this morning (before Spike mentioned nightdrive) after reading the review on Jalopnik. Got some really good songs on there. I kinda like the music video that the whole movie was based on.

Huh, no, I actually haven't! I should try finding that this weekend.

Definitely a good driving song IMO.

I need driving gloves, period. haha. Yeah, it's great! I think they rotate out tracks every week or so? It's like the one playlist I really miss from Spotify, but Apple Music works better for me right now and is cheaper so I never use Spotify anymore. Plus it's not very easy to export a playlist and then automatically convert to Apple Music.

Yeah, there are definitely a lot of freeways around for relaxed driving. I'm going to start doing it more often.

Though I mentioned it to a non-car person, and they were like "why are you driving up your mileage and using gas? you don't have anywhere to go so why not just stay at home? you're wasting money and time!"

Edit: Fixed it, but how do I get rid of that huge space at the bottom?

Looks like they've stopped allowing images uploaded to their site to be embedded on other sites unless the uploader is a paid member, lol.

So probably better to use imgur now.

Why would they think it's a good strategy? Just piss off all your customers? It's not like there aren't alternatives out there that people are already flocking to... There's a way to do a paywall and this isn't it.
