Driving on the autobahn was the first time i ever heard of a speed rating of a tire..

The rental car had a sticker with the message "your tires are rated for 123MPH"

Needless to say i didn't go that fast..

Autobahn was like our interstate system. Their driving sucked in town. They passed on curves drove on the side walks, bright lights all the time, in general really bad.

I drove a tractor trailer across Stuttgart twice a day for 21 months with good bit on the Autobahn. Army truck would only do 50 MPH on a good day, they drove well over 100 MPH.

When they went by, all you heard was a swish as the tail lights got smaller. Being their language has no slang they used ours so yes we could understand them.

You and me too. You have to play to win the lottery and I don't throw my money away like some. I wouldn't win enough to buy a 6pack and a bag of ice.
