Default saw history chl....talking about autobahn....

Dang it....at one time, there is this guy driving Ruf Porsche....cruising along at 140mph...Guess what...during the program I also saw 1 A6 or S6...not quite sure...terrorizing a mercedes..made me feel so proud...why can't our driver be like those germans...so maybe, just maybe..our government reward us with autobahn hqy stretching from east to west...that would be awesome...

Another thing, they also point out how cadillac claim that they were the standard of automobile in the world in the 1960s. While in the mean time, mercedes, bmw, audi and porsche were doing something few years a head of caddy....hahaha...

Default Just keep in mind ....

it may be better than most Interstates, but it doesn't match the legend that has been built up around it anymore. Just a little reading of the Brit mags talks about short bursts of 150+ driving interrupted by moments of sheer terror when a diesel Fiat pulls into the lane in front of you. And most stretches now have speed limits. Check out the latest issue of Conde Nast Traveler magazine to find out Jay Leno's experiences with a non-limited Corvette in Germany.

Default Oh and if you can stand it ...

you might want to do some searches at bimmer.org and steal their itinerary ideas from all the folks who have done ED (that's European Delivery to everyone but Bob Dole).

Default I saw it too. Not all good and fun.

Apparently, you can get ticketed for "insult" to another driver (the middle finger, or even a milder gesture). $500.

You will get speeding tickets indexed to your income level!

There is a gruesome trend called "ghostdrivers" where suicidal folks go the wrong way on the Autobahn with the intent of getting into one or more vicious head-on collisions.

I'll take my boring roads, and go to a track if I want real thrills!

Default OK, Crashing at 140kph is twice as bad as 100kph (84 mph vs 60 mph or close enough)

Spoken like a true engineer. Notice I said close enough and not exactly!
