One of the best aspects of being stationed in Germany for 3 years was going wide open on the Autobahns. I bought a new SAAB Turbo before I left and would go up to 135 MPH routinely. It was a big let-down shipping that car home. Probably broke a 100 a few times in the states, but it wasnt worth the trouble getting caught...

I read an article some time ago about accidents that occur on the Autobahn.At one point a policeman who patrols a stretch of it was quoted as saying that he's seen scores of accidents that were so bad that the victims' remains couldn't even be recognized as being human.

I brought my 1989 Ford Ranger pickup with me, first to Southern Italy in 1991 and then we moved to Ramstein in 1993. The speedometer on that truck topped at 85 MPH:

I was on the A6 once, on the downhill side toward the flats you reached East of the mountains toward Mannhein, when I was passed by a Turbo Carrera. I tried to keep up. Now, since I was coming down the mountainside I was already top ended, but I did accelerate. How fast did I go? I can't say, but it was faster than 85 MPH!
