If I drive 1300km south from where I am, I’ve visited 5 countries, including crossing through France entirely.

I can only hope that my daughter will feel the same way about my 90s Mustang (in Europe) when she’s all grown up, as you feel about your dad’s Fiat. If I can give her those kind of car memories, I think my job as dad is well done.

I guess I should tell you I live in the Netherlands, where the count of terrorist attacks is 0. Without aggressive border patrol and with some tolerance towards other people.

I’m a European that has travelled to the US multiple times in the past. I love New York. My wife and I had our honeymoon in the US, even our wedding photo’s were taken in New York.

Not sure how you Americans view it, but my opinion from northern Europe: a grey Passat: most boring car ever.

From the press release: “Only 21% of those calls for service were initiated by citizens, which tells me that our officers were proactive and addressed any issues quickly throughout the entire weekend.”

Trucks. Always trucks.

Let’s not forget that Mustangs were not only sold, but also assembled in Amsterdam in the 60s. These are the N-code Mustangs.

I once visited a Porsche meeting in Belgium. A tractor showed up and was parked in between the sport cars.

Had a convertible Foxbody once. Bought it because it had been for sale and the seller had enough and wanted to cut it up. Bought it to save it. Had a lot of work to be done. After driving it for 3 years decided I didn’t have the time and put it up for sale.

Nature does not ALWAYS win. In France, parts of the old F1 circuit Reims-Gueux (closed in 1969) are lovingly restored by a special foundation which aims to save the remaining structures.

I actually have been thinking about that!

I drive a Mustang in Europe, which is absolutely my dream car. However lately I do feel concious driving it, afraid people will see it as a symbol against Islam or whatever. I hope Trump doesn’t make me too ashamed to drive an American car in public in Europe.

Ive been a fan of the US ever since I was a little boy, travelled to the US multiple times, have an American car, have American clothes, etc. I have defended the US all these years against people calling Americans stupid.

I once (a while ago) bought a phone to match the car - in color anyway. Everything I buy has to be blue. But that’s not just to match the car - it’s just because I really like blue.

I agree with you. When is the last time you heard a car commercial which said anything about driving the car?

“A pessimist is an optimist with experience”

With cars in Europe already being broken into to steal the airbags, so the airbags can go into crashed cars in the east, I fully expect to see stolen headlights soon to replace the ones in the same crashed cars. Your business idea might be needed sooner than you think, as an anti-theft device.

do regularly. Ive taken some sweet photos of cars in my left mirror. Also, this photo is taken while driving 120kmh on a Potuguese highway.
