Aug 29, 2010 - @fuckdanwo: Thank you!

Oct 17, 2010 - 65 MPH...yea, right. If you don't do 80 you get run over. Been there many times. Loved the video.

Nov 5, 2010 - does anybody know how long the I5 freeway all the way to Portland take to build?

Juliansworld Says:

Nov 22, 2010 - I hate driving north of highway 5! I prefer to drive south at 90 mph and then cruise through the grapevine into Los Angeles

Dec 1, 2010 - this is 1,000,000,000,000x better than Justin Beiber.

socalrailfanner Says:

Dec 1, 2010 - Oh man, last time I drove this was in July, and the landscape was all dry brush from start to end. The lush green grass was gone and just turned into a super nasty fire hazard. You're lucky you caught it green. When did you film this?

FreewayBrent Says:

Dec 1, 2010 - @socalrailfanner: I believe I filmed this in February, but I'm not 100% certain. Perhaps I should start dating my films.

FreewayBrent Says:

Dec 1, 2010 - @HoltCalifornia: lol, I would agree.

MisterWub Says:

Dec 7, 2010 - Took this drive for the first time two weeks ago. What an experience! Despite it being a clear day, when I saw the Central Valley view, it looked like smog. I'm wondering if that was from all the farm land chemicals?

FreewayBrent Says:

Dec 7, 2010 - @MisterWub: That's certainly a part of the reason the valley is so polluted; other factors include the physical geography, the huge population explosion over the past 20 years (which continues to this day) and the subsequent rise in the number of diesel trucks and automobiles in the valley. You might want to subscribe to ScrewdUpClickV2. He will soon be releasing a similar video, that is sure to be better than this one. Thanks for watching!

Dec 17, 2010 - I drove this one night a couple of years ago in the middle of the night, we were trying to avoid traffic that's so awful in the LA area, and we had snow and there were these vehicles with blocking things across the freeway preventing anyone from going any faster than a certain speed going down the grapevine. I have to say it was one of the weirdest driving experiences, and one of the most harrowing I've ever had. Probably saved a lot of lives though.

Jan 31, 2011 - I drive this to work every day. (Up to Templin Highway Only) and even if I'm doing 95mph.. I still get passed by several cars.. and many time already in the last month.. about 7 CHP cars... in both directions (going home and coming to work)..... I still enjoy my morning drive home though... best scenery going downhill before approaching Castaic and Santa Clarita...

DetroitLove4U Says:

Feb 24, 2011 - So hypothetically speaking one could say the see Stockton and Sacramento in the horizon of the 500 mile Central Valley view?????

FreewayBrent Says:

Feb 24, 2011 - @DetroitLove4U: I'm not quite sure. Perhaps it's possible, but considering the polluted nature of the Central Valley, you're lucky to even see Bakersfield, or even the I-5/CA 99 interchange on some days.

DetroitLove4U Says:

Feb 25, 2011 - So down the grapevine one is approaching the county line of Kern County? What is the first city of Kern County on the I-5 North? I was always told not to take the 5 to get to San Francisco because it wasn't as safe as the 101. Too many trucks on the 5 more than on the 101.

gemini6179 Says:

Mar 6, 2011 - LoL! I always thought the runaway ramp area was a deconstructed portion of the Old Ridge Route Highway. Now I know.

gemini6179 Says:

Mar 6, 2011 - I-5 goes through the west side of the San Joaquin Valley. There's no cities at all along this route through the valley, only agricultural lands. The largest city to connect to I-5 north of Los Angeles is Stockton and perhaps Tracy. If I were you, I would take the 101. It's a much more scenic route.

GeoffJennyOliver Says:

Mar 24, 2011 - ... this is the part of the road system I am most familiar with Brent - we took that turn to Lancaster many times ..

FreewayBrent Says:

Mar 24, 2011 - @GeoffJennyOliver: I'll have to notify you, when I refilm this stretch, sometime later this month or next month. It'll look way better with the newer camcorder and editing.

GeoffJennyOliver Says:

Mar 24, 2011 - .. thanks Brent - that would be great - I remember going over that pass and being awe struck at the scenery ( and of course the road!) ..

jr13loco Says:

Apr 14, 2011 - love racing down the grapevine 

filrabat Says:

Jul 8, 2011 - Practically impossible. I just checked on google earth. Zoomed in on the Ft. Tejon Exit at the south side of the Grapevine, and zoomed up to an altitude of 30,000 feet. At that height, the horizon's still less than 200 miles away. You can probably see Fresno at that altitude, but you won't likely recognize it unless at night - and this is 30K feet in the air! From the pass, I doubt you'd even make out Bakersfield, and even so then only at night.

Feb 10, 2012 - Where are the windmills?

joshy1024 Says:

Apr 19, 2012 - You should of putted the song "Grapevine" instead of this song. :P

EpicThe112 Says:

Apr 22, 2012 - 101 is a more scenic route since you can see the Pacific Ocean from Ventura to Gaviota Pass and lots of vineyards near Paso Robles and Salinas
