Default Time lapse of my drive home for xmas

I made a time lapse video of my drive home for xmas. From Panama City Beach, to my parents farm in Northeast Iowa. Roughly 1100 miles, and 17 hours in about a 20 minute video.

At about 8 minutes in my old girl turns over 300k miles.

Cool man. What did you use to record and keep 17 hours of footage? I have hard time seeing myself doing 17 hours in such a small car. I love driving, but even in my plush daily, the back starts hurting since almost no seats are made for us taller guys.

I used a faux pro, it has settings for time lapse, I recorded at 0.5 seconds per frame, which made it a little over an hour of video, I sped it up even more when I put it all together, and the parts after dark are sped up even more from there.

As for the 17 hours, I guess I'm weird but I have zero issues doing it. I've done it quite a few times now. And after all the pain in the *** issues I have had when I've flown it I don't even consider flying anymore. I'm not even kidding when i say that it got to the point that I averaged about 24hrs LESS travel time driving it than flying it, and I can leave when I want and it's way more comfortable than a cheap plane seat.
