High speed Autobahn driving

[Mike@DedicatedPerfection]

Hey guys, I got off work today an decided to take a ride down the Autobahn. Thought i would share. It was a decent day with temps around 35 degrees at 16:00.

The Autobahn is like the highways we have in the U.S. Only here there are no speed limits in un populated areas. When you go through a town or city there will be speed limits. Most of the time in a speed limit area it is 80 mph. In my pictures it is unlimited.

Sorry for the blurry first picture. Didn't give the iPhone enough time to focus.











Look at the dust on my instrument cluster! Tsk tsk. Lol

Pretty cool Mike! What the fastest you've gone? I can't wait till you create a video on the Nurburgring!

I want to go on the Autobahn at some point in my life, but i must have a decent car.

The fastest i ever went was 143mph in the Genesis on a mile run, but it's limited to 155.

My coworker goes to Germany all the time. He got a ticket on the Autobahn on one of his last trips.
LOL- I kid you not... he got a letter from Germany in the mail delivered here.

Thanks James!

I have hit 155 as that is where the limiter is set. I only do that when I have summer tires on though. Doing anything over 100 with winter tires is a bit scary. Crazy thing is, is that I can set the cruise at 155 and it will do it without a hiccup.

I cant wait to make it up there!

It is indeed an experience. Here the German's love to drive fast and maintain a high rate of speed. Does not matter even if raining. They still drive fast.

Oh wow, that's crazy! I bet that was a nice fine!

My dream is to one day drive on the Autobahn.

How high is the death rate due to accidents?
I always wondered about that.

Actually it is lower than anywhere in the U.S.

It is very expensive and time consuming to get a license for the Germans. Roughly 6-7 thousand to get a license and hours upon hours of driving schools. Not to mention a massive test. They take driving very seriously.

It seems like we get our licenses from a Cracker Jack box compared to what they have to go through. But their license is for life.

A little 303 will fix that right up.

Awesome Mike - thanks for sharing the cool shots. Totally jealous!

I hear that they have something like tours whereas people can come from other countries, rent cars like Porches and drive the Autobahn. True?
