I find something like the change in time perception that we go through when driving on a highway pretty remarkable. When going from highway driving to normal road driving things seem very slow.
Given that there are no cases in prehistory where a human traveled 100 km/h it's pretty interesting that we have useful adaptive behavior that triggers in those situations.
Occasionally I'll take a video of myself driving on my phone or google glass and whenever I look at it I feel like "holy shit that's fast" even though it's usually city driving at 25-30 miles an hour.
