This is in Oregon and there is a hot springs nearby. It’s worth seeing but for a better time check out the French Glen Hotel and Malhuer wildlife refuge.

Also RIP Jessi Combs who died breaking the record.

How fast did you drive that SUV?

I can see why. I'm sure even a minor pothole becomes a major problem when you're travelling at record-breaking speed.

I stand corrected.

As long as they encounter the pothole at just the right speed 😀

So what was used to make this video? LMAO.

Also where a brilliant neurosurgeon/physicist/rock star/samurai drove through a mountain.

I loved you in that space movie ms Portland
