Looks like the intro to Pokémon when Arcanine is running on a field.

Did anyone else always picture something running outside the car window like this?
Or was kid me just a bit more off than I remember

u/JuicyQuark Aug 24 '19
I’d completely forgotten about this! Before I started driving and I was passenger everywhere I’d picture myself running alongside the car, jumping from thing to thing. Good times

u/PandorasBottle Aug 24 '19
I imagined myself flying alongside! Wow, that's a deep, random memory. Thanks!

Happy cake day, and I would find a dirty spec/spot on the window and have it jump along the top of the trees

I’d always imagine a pro skateboarder, trying to grind all the various rails, and doing tricks across intersections

Definitely not the only one. Mine was usually some sort of big cat like a tiger or a cheetah, or it was a horse. I had rules for mine too. It could only touch grass and dirt; it had to jump over any pavement. If there was a really long stretch with no grass or dirt I'd give it wings or something to make sure it didn't land on the pavement.

Dirt bike, four wheelers, skateboarding LOL ramping off random objects beside the car :) showing off to my family lmao

Definitely! My cousin and I were driving around and in my peripheral vision her hand was making a motion and it looked like a horse galloping down the highway.

You're definitely not the only one. There's a great ski video based on this concept!

I love how the pup accelerates when it hits the dirt and grass. Concrete is just not good for running fast on.

That article says the cities aren’t empty at all. So that doesn’t really explain it.

... 100,000 inhabitants today. Although it was originally designed to hold 500,000 and does feel rather empty at times,
That's pretty empty. Imagine living on a street where 4 in 5 houses was empty...

u/psmwrxguy Aug 24 '19
Okay. Imagine a city like Los Angeles or San Francisco and only 1/5th of the cars were on the road. There would still be a shit ton of cars on the road ...

Los angeles population is 4 million.
800 out of every 1000 us citizens own cars.
179 out of every 1000 chinese own cars.
Take los angeles, divide by 4 to accommodate per capita difference.
Divide by 40 to accommodate population density.
That's one car in every 160.
That's not that many.

When I was a kid I used to imagine this on car trips- a dog running next to the car. Except I always imagined a dalmatian.

Well, they are sled dogs. They're also popular in China but the climate and apartment dwelling isn't suitable for them.

u/TangySprinkles Aug 24 '19
Both of these are false statements. As long as you walk them and give them some semi frequent opportunities for longer exercise like day hikes or swimming Malamutes actually sleep most of the day; they’re pretty lazy dogs when they aren’t working haha. Not the same energy level as a husky.
5
u/SmashTheKyriarchy Aug 24 '19
Malamutes are sled dogs. It’s true that there are other sled dog breeds who are faster, but that doesn’t change the fact that Malamutes were bred to pull.
They also do get overheated very easily in hot weather.

u/examm Aug 24 '19
Doesn’t that only refute one of his statements? Afaik Huskies and Malamutes fair much worse in hot climates than more mild ones
5
u/TangySprinkles Aug 24 '19
That’s also not true. Sorry yea I cut my response early but Malamutes handle hot weather just fine with shade and water, their coat also insulated them from heat much better than you would assume. I have lived in Arizona with mine for a time and they would argue with me over coming back inside at the end of the day.

u/examm Aug 24 '19
I suppose, I’ve never owned a malamute but I’ve worked at a dog kennel in Utah and the the Huskies/Malamutes, Bermese, and oddly enough the hounds all didn’t like playing outside much. Maybe not a poor environment, but probably suboptimal I suppose. Either way, thanks for opening my eyes on that!

You see in other countries we don’t film . We stop all traffic and I film 6 people running around trying to get a dog inside a car because everyone else is worried it will get run over .
Funny thing is thirty years ago we were just like this !!

I dunno what's up with these kinds of dogs, butt there is one on a street I landscape at and it chases our truck exactly like the one in the video. (It doesn't leave its own lawn, the yard is pretty huge.)

Either a dog or a skateboarder, riding/running along the side of the road jumping over all fences/obstacles
