That road sucks, man.  I'm surprised you were able to keep that speed up for 10 seconds on that mess of a road.

Economical Cruising Mode. At 130 km/h the 118i gets decent gas mileage. Wind noises are pretty loud though but I gladly put up with that because it's a BMW so it HANDLES SOOOOOOOO GOOD ON A TRACK WHERE I SPEND 99% OF MY TIME!  :praise:

On the Autobahn from Augsburg to Munich today. Cracked 215 km/h but then some POS riced-out Opel Corsa with a bunch of Goths in it pulled out up ahead and I had to drastically slow down to 120 km/h. That POS Opel then took an eternity to overtake a friggin convoy of 80 km/h-traveling trucks.  :facepalm:

Pretty cool how Hans gets to do 125 mph in a 51-hp Golf while Hank is limited to 70 mph in 550-hp Escalade! :devil:


The Autobahn was engineered for high-speed driving and our driving schools train us for this. AFAIK the US highway system wasn't engineered for high-speeds and your driving schools are a joke from what I hear...  :thumbsup:

Our interstate highway system was based entirely on lesson learned from the autobahn, and in many cases, we hired your engineers, who made many technical improvements. In many places, the road itself is superior to the German Autobahn.

Our drivers howver...


well,....
Maybe we need to start off small. I mean, they don't let you fuck the glumpers at Glumpees without a level 4 FuckPass, do they?

A lot of our interstates are in pretty mediocre shape, too.

:wtf:

I just went to cadillac's website to try and find one.  They search the closest 25 dealers within 250 miles.  I tried my zip code, Chicago, Pittsburgh, and Detroit.  Nobody has one.  The car was just Bob Lutz's goofy project to make some journalists jizz their pants over Cadillac for a change.
