describe your experience driving the autobahns of germany. How did you feel driving with no speed limits?
I drove them regularly for over three years when I was stationed there in the military. I had first a used mercedes and later a v8 dodge. I was driving from nurnburg to munich going about 125 mph when a mercedes s600 blew by me like I was sitting still. It rocked my car when it passed. It's quite a sensation if you have ever experiened anything like that.

i did some research on it before..its not all unlimited speed, only sections of it (you guys probably no that) and they have weard laws, like you cant go under a certain speed, if you run out of gas you get a ticket, a bunch of weard things..but it keeps the flow going

yeah there are minimum speed limits but im pretty sure in some areas there are max speed limits too...but theyre so high it doesnt even matter.

The boss of bugatti used to drive his Mclaren F1 at 200mph while going to work in the morning on the autobahn's.
