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.

Is your Dad a TV repair man and have an ultimate set of tools?

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...

EBay ad:

Low miles. Stunning red.

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

Looks like the muffler held up surprisingly well .......

...if only the airbags would have deployed...

...what kind of car, uh, WAS that?

Adam 03-11-2004 04:06 PM

I think it used to be a BMW Compact.

Looks like a Ford Escort.

Amazing physics lesson. :eek:

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

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.

Or don't drive Fords 'cause they don't handle real good...gotta get one of them fancy German ve-hick-els...like a Porch or A-you-die.

Is the engine still there? Maybe it got hurled into the distance??
