    Default What a waste...

    Well folks, I'm in Germany again. Land of no speed limits and perfect streets, and what do I rent? (being the cheap bastard that I am?) A "Ford Fusion" (not the same kind we have in the US). This is a little 1.4L piece of crap manumatic...

    The thing tops out at 150kmh.... this is so disappointing and such a waste.

    The moral of the story is: When in Germany... won't cheap out on your ride... get a car that will let you enjoy the open autobahn.

    Well, I was trying to save money, but it really wasn't worth the annoyance to drive some european econobox.

    In July when I come I'm going for at least an Audi A4 3.0

    Why do that? Rent a 911 Turbo! Or hell if you go frequently just buy an old 930 or something. Probably cheaper than your Fiesta

    The company I worked for did something similar to that to me. But when I went to pick up my Volkswagon Golf it was not avialable. After waiting around for 45 minutes, I went to the desk and complained.
    She then handed me the keys to a brandy new 720i with 180 KM on it.

    Boy did I break it in good for them

    Did you guys know a BMW 721i can do 240 KMpH on the Autobaun?

    Jeez, that's a smaller engine in the 7 series than the smallest engine available on the 3 series in America.
