Driving in Germany

Advantages of driving in Germany:

1) Overall, the cars are in much better condition because of tough inspections
2) Licenses are much harder to get, with better driving training
3) The autobahn speed limit is "whatever's safe" up to 155 mph

Disadvantages of driving in Germany:

1) When you fly off the road at 120+ mph, you find out why Oak was used as armor on ships.

Some poor bastard is playing the harp, I'd say.

You always hear the term "Wrapped it around a tree" - well you do here in Melbourne - but I've never seen it like that before. Not such a small tree...

Low miles. Stunning red.

Needs some minor body work. I'd do it myself but I've got too many other projects.

Amazing physics lesson.

Kind of like the blade of straw going through the telephone pole in a tornado.

Good call Chris. Where the F is the rest of it? Looks like it hit going sort of sideways and the entire front ripped off. A sad reminder that the energy increases with the square of the velocity.
