I found a tunnel...

It's (almost) on my way to work, it's more like a underpass than a tunnel and it's in just the right spot to hit 4000rpm as I go under it. Suffice to say, this week my daily mileage has dropped significantly, and I've had to get up 5 minutes earlier, but it was worth it today when some dude who was walking through freaked out. It probably doesn't help that my tires squeal on the 1-2 up-shift

I think we need some pictures of this....and I also suggest you setup a tripod one day on your way through!!

Or better, suction cup mount.

I know the feeling though, I recently discovered a nice wide corner behind my work. *shifty eyes*

You're such a tease! I was expecting a video already!

I'm working on a safe mounting system that doesn't jiggle.

Okay so it's really a couple of overpasses
The first one is the one that is most like a tunnel... It's very narrow and loud in the mornings. It has better acoustics than a tunnel I think.

I know where all of those are except for the first one. The ones on Southfield under 75 are seriously 3/4 of a mile from my house.

I love boosting through the 94 tunnel in Minneapolis, lol. Except it's almost always bumper to bumper at about 50 MPH during the week. Sunday Mornings are great though.

First is at the corner of Michigan and Southfield... about 1/4 away from work.
Edit: can you guess where my new job is?

Somewhere in/near Fairlane mall? Or maybe one of the schools over there?

Oops, excuse me being new to the area, but it's the corner of
Oakwood and Michigan, sorry! It's not that far away from Michigan and Southfield though.
Here!

Ahh, I know where that is. My friend's mom used to work there.

That's cool. You drive a GM product to a Ford plant. Do you have to park at the back? Chrysler had a plant on IN 100 (Shadeland Ave) on the east side of Indy. If you didn't drive a Chrysler product, you had to park in the back. - BC

Sounds great Matt, Don't know how I missed the vid until now. Makes me want to film some of the underpasses around here. Lots of them to choose from.

Only UAW facilities make people park like that.

Nice video! It's crazy to see how quick that thing gathers speed.

Does that mean you're considering an L67 too?

I know who to call if I ever (when) I get any crazy ideas about L67 swapping anything.
