100 mph with a lifted TJ isnīt scary when you are used to drive with +200 mph (with no other cars on the Autobahn).

The Autobahn ...That has to be so crazy to see cars just flying past you.

When there is heavy traffic itīs dangerous to drive too fast. And you must have good brakes. Faster than 40-50 mph than the others isnīt a good idea.
But at nights with no other cars itīs fun to drive as fast as the car can.

Yea, i probably couldn't drive on it with tons of traffic & cars flying past. I would freak out, but night time would be fun. Are there alot of wrecks since there's no actual speed limit?

On the most parts of the Autobahn there is a speed limit of 75 or 80 mph. Only less than 10% are without a speed limit.
There arenīt very much accidents because they all arenīt driving very fast because of the xxxxxxx gas prices over here. 1 gallon costs about 7.60$ over here (1 Liter about 2$).

You never heard of the Autobahn? We actually have a few states here when there isn't a speed limit on the highway, unless it's dark or conditions call for a slower speed.

Ohhh i thought the whole Autobahn had no speed limit, that would probably be dangerous. And $7.60 a gallon! I would never be going anywhere if it was that much here, that's insane. I think the last time i got gas it was only $2.59 and i was upset about that. Haha

I believe out west, and maybe one state up north. If you look on Google or Yahoo you'll probably find it. Atleast when i was younger, which was about 14 years ago & went to Cali we ran across a few states that were like that.

100 mph and 40 mpg is a big difference to 100 mph and only 10 mpg.
But with the Jeep I have way more fun.

My Jeep is my daily driver. But when I have to drive to customers that are +50 mls away I use the gas saving small car.
I made some TV commercials for Mercedes. Thatīs why I got the a-class at cost.

My mom has a SL600 and my dad has a S600L (both bought at cost from my customer Mercedes). But in the US German cars are more expensive than here.
Itīs like US cars in Germany. A Stock JK 3.8L Sport costs 27,000 Euros (40,000 $) over here.

Oh man those are nice cars. I want one...haha..And of course, they charge more because they know we don't have a way to import & export cars, or if so it's really hard.

You should get some sleep soon. It's about 3:30 there isn't it?

I'll only be in for a few more. I'm making the trek to RAF Lakenheath.
