This was taken by my friend Christy between anxiety attacks. I'm driving the blue pickup you see, and I'm towing my friend John's 4Runner. Since we were towing it for, oh, about three and a half hours, I had some time to do a little math.40 mph = ~65km/h
x 1000 = 65000m/h
/ 3600 = ~18 m/s
Wow, seriously? I guess that's about right. But then our tow rope (after a hasty start and its subsequent SNAP) was only 6 feet. That's, what, 2 metres? Hmph. 18 m/s with a 2 m rope....
I guess I can't blame Christy for switching to the back seat after all...
