Yahoo Autos What's The Best Sight You’ve Seen From Your Car?
The greatest thing about a car is that it can take you anywhere. So often, though, we just use them to get to boring destinations — home, work, non-Wegmans grocery stores. Today, we want to honor those special occasions, the times you get to see something truly great through that windshield.
I’ve seen plenty of neat sights from the seats of cars: The Pacific ocean spreading out endlessly from the California canyons, the gorgeous snow of near-arctic Sweden, the trails of Catalina Island. My favorite view, though, isn’t one from the seat of a car — it’s from the seat of a bike.
Out in Brooklyn, there’s a great little park that’s incredibly frustrating to access with anything other than a car — or a motorcycle. It’s on the western side of the borough, meaning you can watch beautiful sunsets over the water right from the park.
I love to ride out there at the end of the day, occasionally with a dinner on my bike, and just recline on the BMW as the sun slowly dips into the water. It may not be the most breathtaking view in the world — though the Statue of Liberty standing over the water ain’t nothing — but it’s one I can see reliably and comfortably.
That’s my favorite automotive view, but what’s yours? Leave your comments below — bonus points for adding a photo of your own — and we’ll collect our favorites later in the week.
