G, I expect we'll pass on the 'Ring if the weather is bad as well, though I'll still make a point to drive to it. I don't feel the need to add additional elements that could cause me to crash my cousins car.
He's already allowing me to drive it, even offered to toss me the keys and venture on my own - something Germans don't do. I guess I "wowed" him on the New Years drive this year and he trusts me.
