Amen! I lived in Germany for 7 years and would drive out of my way to hit the Autobahn on the way to work. Here's a challenge, see how many countries you can drive in in 12 hours! You should also check out the Nurburgring. They have a 13 mile road course that I used to pay $10.00 a lap on Sundays. Used to have a 82 GTI that I disasembled the engine and mailed it to California to have worked. That was 1 fast little car. I had to pull out the rev limiter in the distributor to get it to turn over 6,500 RPM. One time on the way back from Italy I ran that built 1.8 liter at 6,800 RPM for 2 hours straight. What a blast. Have video somewhere of the tach maxed out at 7,000 RPM and the speedo at 205 K or 123 mph!
I had to rent cars and often did when I wanted to go over 130 MPH.
