I think I may have come here to post your car. Did you used to autocross this in the Philadelphia area?

Sorry to hear that. I went through my Fleetwood about a year ago to stop just that problem. I caught it in the early stages—I only lost about 3 square inches of sheet metal. But it looked pretty bad, especially above the fuel tank.

By limiting it to the last 3 years, they may have knocked Cadillac from the top spot, but I’m almost certain it’s the number one brand mentioned in music overall. Just keeping it to songs with “Black Cadillac” in the title, we’ve got:

Cadillac Fleetwood on the right, Daihatsu Midget II on the left. (The Daihatsu is also my profile picture.)

I can relate.

The normal German traffic laws apply during Touristenfahrten, when the track is open to any paying member of the public. Different rules apply during track days, and as far as I know, during manufacturer testing.

The driver makes an astonishing difference there. When I visited with a CTS-V, I found myself passing things I had no business passing. But then, I also got passed by a Ford Fiesta on one lap.

They’re actually quite brittle. The dealerships have rotor covers to prevent chipping when removing wheels.

But we should.

Well, that’s true. And it’s a bit hair-raising when someone doing 120 kph half a mile ahead pops out to pass a truck that’s passing an even slower truck. But it’s nice to have the option!

To be fair, I don’t remember where this happened. There’s a good chance it was in former East Germany.

And Germany stifles a laugh at Texas.

This is still pretty sad. I drove across several countries in Europe, and away from the cities the speed limit was 130 kph (except in parts of Germany). That’s about 80.7 mph. And they don’t have vast areas with “not a damn thing.” Their countryside is more like the east coast of the US.

Well, that’s kind of unfortunate. As much as I’d love to return and try to get under 9 minutes, I can’t afford to go back right now.

Also, is it too much to ask for knobs in the center stack anymore[?]

I rather liked the graffiti I saw in Germany.

Ah, you’re right. It probably even said so, right on the back. I still stand by my something equally ridiculous comment, though.

I saw one of these recently. From a distance, I thought maybe it was a Murano CrossCabriolet Hardtop or something equally ridiculous. It was the latter.
