I just like being low because I am a car door handle connoisseur and I can get a better look this way.

LOL If you are trying to get me all giddy over no speed limit it won't work. I drove the autobahn many, many times in a 76 Trans Am. The only complaint I had was all those damned slow German cars that kept getting in my way. It was fun the first 5 or 6 times but got old fast and I quickly came to enjoy the scenic country roads much more.

You ned to "learn" the traffic. it feels great when you need for a 400 miles trip only 3-4 hours with coffe brakes

and donīt think about your MPG

Most I ever really had to drive was the hour from Lahr to Mannheim or Stuttgart.
Other than when I was working and then I could be sent anyplace in West Germany but those trips were never fast (unless a helicopter picked up my truck and delivered it).
