I was in Germany just over a year ago visiting some friends. We headed up from Braunschweig (where I was staying) to Kiel (up north, on the Baltic). Most of our road-time was on the Autobahn, and we were in my friends' parents' Mercedes wagon. This thing was quite nice, had the onboard GPS and voice-navigation (though it <i>was</i> in German), traction control for winter/summer modes, and many other features that I was more than impressed with; but I can't seem to remember the model.
On the Autobahn, as with most German roads, it's illegal to pass on the right. We were in the middle lane going ~160kpm (100mph), and I saw about a dozen TT's passing us going at least 150mph. Then there were the 911's passing them - <i>that</i> was a sight. The whole car ride seemed very comfortable, and we were actually keeping up with most of the traffic.
