There has to be a lot of PS in there, because there is no way in anytime would there not be a single car on the freeway

This is obviously computer generated imho. One of the pics still had 3 parked cars in them. they should have removed them

Yeah, there's no explanation other than PS.

This is what it will look like in 2 years if California can't come up with some decent fiscal policies.

Could be real.
There is a real picture of the scramble crosswalk in Shibuya (where they shot the tokyo drift scene in the city) with no one or car in it.

Creepy. They remind me of those movies where the city is completely empty due to an outbreak of monsters or something. I wonder how the photographer achieved it?

this is time lapse photography.

overlay enough pictures, photoshop out the people and cars, and you'll have empty roads.

yeah I know. I was on the way back to Phoenix from LA on the afternoon of Thanksgiving and there were no cars on the 10. I was just cruising at a comfy 100-110 mph. The car is amazing now with the Michelin tires and a stock exhaust. My wife even said it felt like we were just floating.

no matter how he did it the pics are pretty cool. I remember about 5 years ago I was working at Target and we had a hurricane that came close enough to cause some crazy conditions. Well the store was kept open so I had to haul my *** to work at 8 in the morning fighting 60 mph gusts. I was in my little fox body mustang and going down one of the main roads that leads into the city there were no cars out at all except me so I decided to cut some donuts in the middle of the 4 lane road which any other time would be impossible. Also on that trip missed a falling stoplight by about 3 feet. It was a rush!
