Of course I know, I'm just trying to pi$$ you all off.

Take care y'all now and don't forget Speed Kills. In fact it's best if you never shift up from 1st gear IMO

Sincerely yours, Big Weep

Too bad my car can stay in 1st Gear all the way to 60MpH if I shift manually, at 5600 RpM.
Don't worry, the 2.56 ring & pinion will be replaced with 3.42s ... this year ...

To make a long story short, either:

A) German speed limits are more reasonably set
or
B) there should be a website named "Sichere Geschwindigkeit" in progress
Interesting you say that Rush. I went to Germany for the first time last year and noticed that I obeyed the law for one very simple reason; they have set their limits reasonably. :clap: I also noticed that once I'd come off the autobahn where I was able to make due progress, I was much more content to plod along in the slower limits.
Yea, y'know, it's funny that only a few people don't want to get that point.

What a convenient coincidence that it happens to be illegal to
a) kill people
b) steal things
c) flash myself in public
since I've never been overcome with those urges. I and 95% of the rest of the human population must be very lucky.

Hey, I'm sure that there are some people who might like to do these things, but don't because
a) the law says so
b) most other people don't either

What a blessing, when the injunctive and descriptive norms are the one and the same.

I think it would be interesting to monitor German driving behavior in a scamera-infested area, and then take a survey on their opinions of the experience. I think the one thing we could all be sure of, is that they would wonder why the law was designed to be so difficult?
