15. What can you see if you are traveling faster?

A blur of tree shaped things? Why not just drive fast on a road? I laugh my ass off at people who claim to love getting out in nature and drive past it at 60 mph. What's the point? Also, anyone who would drive a convertible off road at any time would be just plain foolish, wouldn't they?

Have you ever seen the result of a 60 mph snow mobile meeting a pressure ridge on a lake? I have. Didn't work out too well for neither man nor machine. The guy's bones eventually fixed themselves, but the machine was toast.
