    I wish we had an Autobohn here in Florida.

    Ops: It would not work because all of the blue hairs would be driving slow in the extreme left lane.

    Looks like fun, but I for one would not trust my fellow motorists not to wallow into my lane while they talk or text on the phone. Not to mention the grey panther's driving Buick's.

    Never been a top speed kind of guy I'd rather have a nice quick rhythm going along a challenging road.

    I love the Autobahn.....ran it last week in a diesel Jacquar rental car. They truly respect the left lane. I was running around 220 Klicks and had several Audi's come up and pass me. The trouble is that after running that fast for an hour you lose your speed perspective.

    I admit I got scared a couple of times I thought he was gonna hit that truck. I was reaching for my seat belt and I am in an office chair.
