Good morning, fockers.

Spent the night about 80 miles north, with an actual female I didn't have to give my credit-card number to....was great. Best thing though - traffic between Frankfurt and here was about perfect. 110mph in traffic - everyone staying in their lane, doing what they should do while driving. Nobody cared. At 110 I was passed a lot - because I stuck to the right except when passing.

One dude almost got us both killed though.

As I approach about 170km, I pull into the left lane to pass. As I get about 3 dots from him (based on that word-diagram I just posted) dude pulls out in front of me going about 90km. My little beater Golf braked so hard to avoid ramming him up the but like Taxes (Not TEXAS...of course, there's that joke about steers...). Guy was in a late model 530D. Just NOT paying attention or not giving two craps. When he finally passed the Big Truck and found the right lane again, in my rear view i saw him give ME the "You are crazy" sign (tapping one's forehead while looking condescendingly towards the person you think is nuts).

Ugh.

Otherwise - uneventful.

I think if I had millions or gixxerphil kind of money, i'd spent it on campaigning lawmakers to adopt about 85% of German traffic laws, including abolishing speed limits where they make no sense.

 

Tell that to my fiancee

 

Nuts, But they actually have speed limits on the Autobahn atm xD

Since it's been so hot there they are worried about the asphalt cracking and causing accidents.

I've never heard of that happening before though

Glad you're crazy and not dead

 

Have her talk to my GF and she can tell her
She's very good at convincing people, well at least me.

 

Haha, I should've just taken her to that Reptile expo in Denver. Showed her all the cute reptiles we could have.

 

Only on parts of it. Saw no special limit signs posted this morning - was free and clear, but they do dynamic speed limiting at times, so maybe the past couple days during hot times they posted some, but it would be only localized. Locally, on the A6 between Kaiserlsautern and the A6/A63 junction - remained no-limit during the hot days.

and thanks.

 

Should of.
That's how I was reeled into having so many *drools*

Get a snake, They are easy and you can leave them alone for a week and not have to worry about them if you need to go out of town.

 

@koditten is the graveyard Chuck Norris

You know the first thing that pops in his mind...…...those fuckers are at it again

oh - hey! Was 'referred' for a job in Huntsville. No interview scheduled, but I'd take it if it came down to it. Roll Eagle? is that the right saying?

 

Oh - and yeah, it's not crazy. Driving 100+ now feels like driving 60mph did back in the states. It's not fast-feeling. It's relaxed. Last year when I got my mini, my daughter and i took our cars (i'm in her old Golf while my mini awaits a motor rebuild) to inspection. On the way back I had her golf at about 100-115mph...I couldn't catch her. She said, when we got home, "This thing is pretty fun - although above 200km it feels a little jumpy".

She was 19. Had been driving for about a year and a half over here and already knew what comfortable speed feels like. Yes, if these laws were given to the US population people would die as they do stupid stuff...but after that, it would become normal and highways would be a shit-ton safer for everyone.

 

Nope, you'll have to pick one

 

I wanted to go with/without her but there was something going on that weekend. Not sure she'd go for a snake. I did take her to the reptile stores here and she was keen on some of the 'cute' geckos and such.

 

I wouldn't even care as much about the speed limits if people just stayed in the Driving lane instead of the Fast lane all the damn time.

That and actually accelerate when getting onto the road in the acceleration lane and not try to get on the 75 mph highway at 50 mph....

 

LMAO :-D War Tide!

Would probably have to stick with GoSeahawks!

 

Just don't buy a Tokay xD
They are total assholes, they will bite your face off if you let them.

 

Meh, we don't do NFL like most states.

 

This is no lie. A few years ago a woman shot her sister b/c she wasn't upset enough that Auburn had beaten Alabama. Some folks take this shit way to seriously.

 

I felt a little of that when i lived in Enterprise. I didn't understand it and maybe never will. I mean, yes - cheer for whomever you want...but c'mon...it's absolutely a religion to some. Very personal and they put their ego in the hands of their sports-team-of-choice.

 

Haha, she likes the leopard geckos, blue day geckos, teeny tiny beardies... Basically anything small and cute. (Except the gators, she specifically said no about one of those )
