      my day on the autobahn

      I was in germany last week and headed to the airport on sunday morning early from cologne to frankfurt.

      Was in an audi a3 turbo diesel 2.0 l

      put the cruise control on 210kmh ( as fast as the car would go) and got there in 1.25 hours - 180 km

      It was so nice that people actually got out of the fast lane to let you go by - and only used it to pass.

      It made me realize what a55hats most american drivers are.

      oh yeah - there was not mass carnage all over the freeways there from going fast like they say happens. I did not see one wreck and I acutally got passed 2 times by big mercedes.

      HPDE is the greatest thing since sliced bread.

      Yes they know how to do it properly. It takes around a year to get a license. People are trained how to drive. If they don't pull out of the fast lane they can have their license suspended. I was on it many years ago. It is designed very well also (curves, ramps, etc..).

      We eliminated Montana?! Glad I didn't have any relatives there.

      lol - ok rub it in

      tell me - what is the deal with all the drivers taking cell phone pics of each other when they are mad at each other?

      I saw this several times coming back from some sightseeing - like if somone was passingon the right or would not get out of the fast lane.

      out comes the cell phone and they are taking pics - pretty funny
