That’s why I highly recommend coach builders. You can order your automobile exactly as you wish and it is one of a kind. Everything else is pedestrian and peasant.

I guess a hair over $1/4 mil isn’t really a showstopper to a lot of race teams.

ADAC just replied to an inquiry I made a few weeks ago, so here are some fun facts about the Autobahn:

What a fool, that’s clearly the passenger’s side door.

There is no rational basis for speeding tickets (including automated ones) other than local revenue and the corrupt insurance industry.

Fucking Iowa. It’s bad enough that they have troopers sitting all over the interstates to try to catch people speeding through the wasteland because its tourism revenue would otherwise be next to nothing, but they put up fucking speed cameras on the interstate too?

Biggest city in Germany!

Im Dutch. I hate the fucking Dutch with those portable toilets they’re pulling behind them, and even without those things rarely drive over 120 kph.

Did you at least visit Ausfahrt?

This is an excellent overview of the autobahn driving experience. I would only add that 98.9% of the campers pulling out into the passing lane are being driven by the freaky deaky Dutch. It’s a little known fact that the NL on their plates actually stands for “Nur Links.”

There are two seasons in Germany. Winter and construction.

Driver of tan Nissan hit cement divider while texting....1 hour later, another driver hits the Nissan while texting.

And blue flags. Mostly blue flags.

I see a tow truck drive right by, doesn’t turn on his lights to warn anyone of the obstacle, doesn’t stop to help. Isn’t that your job?

It absolutely is. He has strong feelings that the cops were involved.

Is this at all related to some of the shady stuff Josh Welton encountered with his repeatedly stolen vehicles?

It’s a fucking video game.

With the “security guards” license plate reader, if there isn’t a clear plate, it won’t read it. Being as he was from Kansas, they only have plates on the back. He had backed into the parking spot, up against the wall. The “guards” never bothered to get out and check the plate. Had they done their job, he would have…

Not surprising. I work for a general contractor that does a LOT of work in airports and parking security is a lot more lax than you would expect. I’ve heard stories of people leaving cars in employee lots (which are ‘strictly’ enforced to 24 hours max) for weeks on end before someone so much as leaves a note let alone…

You think it’s bad now, wait until the parking company calculates the fee.
