Cruisin USA is a time lapsed flash video that was filmed in a fixed position of a car filming through the front window from Portland, Maine to Los Angeles, California. Since the video is only 4.5 minutes long, it is seen as if the person traveling across the country at 46,500 miles per hour, found using 3100÷(4÷60). (This is contrary to other websites [http://video.yahoo.com/video/play?p=cruisin+usa&prsswebSearch&eiUTF-8&b3&oiddb5c501f5f075a3a&rurlgrouper.com&vdonehttp%3A%2F%2Fvideo.yahoo.com%2Fvideo%2Fsearch%3Fp%3Dcruisin%2Busa%26prssweb%3DSearch%26ei%3DUTF-8] which claim it is 1,000 mph -- such an assumption is incorrect. If that speed was true, the flash video would take about 3 hours.) In terms of driving distance, Portland is 3100 miles away from Los Angeles.
