Will the iPhone 7 bring on an influx of better car videos?
I never think of new technology in respect to cars. This is mainly because quite frankly, even though I love cars and car design, I'm not anything close to being a car guy. So when I happened across this article over at Jalopnik about why the iPhone 7 could be better for car enthusiasts, I was intrigued.
It's not that the iPhone 7 is the first to introduce optical image stabilization or water resistance in a mobile device, it's about having one of the most popular mobile devices with this technology suddenly in the hands of people who care nothing about phone advancements. Many people simply just upgrade their phone every year and with this latest release of the iPhone, it actually means better videos overall from people at car shows, car meets, and just shooting-from-the-car-window. It won't correct it all, but for the casual road bump, this could just be less vomit-inducing.

The Kanjozoku: Osaka's Famous Street Racers
Brandon Leung filmed this neat little video about a small group of Civic racing enthusiasts in Osaka, Japan. They race their cars illegally along Osaka's inner city loop which I can totally see as the inspiration for a number of car-centered anime series. I get it now.
A dream come true if LA's Metro ever grows to this size
Adam Linder created this image above which gives people a portal into the future (the far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far future) of what may one day be Los Angeles. If a November ballot measure to increase funding for LA's Metro gets approved, that could mean about $120 billion to increase the Metro rail infrastructure to essentially cover all of Greater Los Angeles. Imagine LA with an actual working and decent Metro system. Would it change the landscape of LA? Would it, over some considerable time, turn LA into a rail-city? WHO KNOWS! THE FUTURE COULD BE BRIGHT!

Ferrari 288 GTO
This isn't the best-looking Ferrari ever made (that belongs to the F40), but it still is one magnificent looking beast. Nothing but good old-fashioned driving in this video from Petrolicious. It's just short and sweet.
