Default "strange" picture request

I am putting together an internal presentation to give to my extended team, and I would like to include a picture that reflects the word "driving".

Ideally, I'd like to find a picture from the drivers perspective looking down the road, perhaps a still from a video cam in back. I looked through Google images, but could not find a C5, only a C6. Bonus for including part of the driver.

Hoping someone might have such a thing.

Thanks

Jeff, I think I can use one of yours - especially since I also have a Torch Red car!!!

This is the one from the C6 which I liked:

Hi Jeff, love the pictures you send from your trips around the Denver area. i grew up in the Springs but lived a long time in Evergreen. Miss the Aspen, but not the snow. Post more pictures of your trips. Here is one of a friend of mine in his 04 and my 03 in Yosemite...counldn't really tell but that was where it was.

Here's another version of the picture, but it just didn't seem believable with the traffic and that right lane ending sign ahead.

for the videos just save them to your computer and open with a video editor to pull out a frame, good luck hope I helped.
