   Thanks for the video. One of the best drifting videos I've seen in a long time.

   I took a cab ride in SF about 20 years ago that was similar to this . Still a little shell shocked.

   UNBELIEVABLE!! God, I wish I was in San Francisco that day!
   
   I could have found a parking space.

   Don't you see that each Friday and Saturday nights in down town Stockton, granted it is followed by blue and red flashing lights....

   Rob,
   
   You only got a little bit of Stockton...
   
   I have managed to avoid downtown Stockton for 22 years, save for a couple hockey games, an occasional Single-A baseball game, an Earth, Wind & Fire Concert, a Bob Dylan concert, and the Asparagus Festival every couple yeras. And a couple jury duty assignments, I almost forgot. One murder trial (I was a juror, not the defenant). And one drunk-driving with property damages.
   
   They must have filmed that car-driving video while everyone was watching the US Open. Probably Thursday. It was sunny.

   No wonder Stockton went broke, you weren't going into town enough.

    Great film but some how it is photo shopped or something. Having lived around SF most of my life it is a traffic nightmare and at no time will you see the Bay Bridge void of traffic. A couple of locations such as on the waterfront and Twin Peaks are possible by being staged.

    Corey,
    
    I had a couple of friends send this to me and insist it was all real. I'm with you. There's no way you'll ever get all those streets in S.F. that clear, even if it was in the middle of the night and you made it look like daylight. Can't even imagine the costs or efforts it would take to get permits for parts of it that could be real. Although, considering how some people drive around here, perhaps it just seemed like another typical California driver!!!!

    I was wondering the same as my family is from the area... they said it was filmed over four days around the Memorial Day weekend... the bridge was closed briefly for some construction work on that weekend.
    
    Being the president of DC Shoes gives him some leverage, I guess? Probably a healthy donation to the city in there somewhere as well!
