In the US if you drive a BMW, people automatically make certain assumptions about your income and personality (rich prick). However, in Germany, BMWs, Mercedes, and Volkswagens are EVERYWHERE. The semi-trucks are made by Mercedes. There are BMW station wagons and minivans for the soccer moms, sorry football moms. Furthermore, these vehicles like to go fast. They were designed to be driven on the autobahn, which in some areas literally has no speed limit. Lest they disappoint the cars, the owners drive them fast. Joe has been enjoying the luxury of driving as fast as he wants, but no matter how fast we drive, there is still someone driving faster than he does. So far, this trip he topped out at 218kmh, which is 135mph. The funny thing is, the car does not object to this handling. It does not whine, the road noise is bearable, the ride felt smooth. Almost makes me want a BMW to cruise around in back home. We will see.
K,
ReplyDeleteOnce you drive a BMW, you never want to go back to American cars. It's like flying first class...it ruins flying coach for the rest of your life. I had a BMW some years ago, when I was in my 30's and pimpin. Those days are long gone. I love my 1993 Honda Accord! Great blog.
i love BMWs...my dream brand!
