Sometimes I think about the one thing I'd like to do if there's ever the opportunity (post apocalytic event or something): drive from Kansas City to Denver in under four hours. That is, actually be able to drive a car built for the autobahn the way it was meant to be driven: fast. I can dream, can't I?
If you've ever driven across Kansas on I-70, you might realize that speed might just not be quite as dangerous as boredom... ![](http://planetsmilies.net/tired-sleeping-smiley-17394.gif)

And in the spirit of this thread, just remember one of the rules that makes the autobahn so safe, despite the speeds:
Rechtsfahren!

I drove on the Autobahn in Germany a few years ago and I didn’t find it so safe. I was cruising along in the right lane, don’t know how fast 60-70mph, no traffic. I came around a curve and there was a guy going real slow, maybe 30 in the right lane. I put on my blinker to signal I was going to pass when out of nowhere comes a Porsche, had to be doing 120. I was half out into the left lane. I almost creamed the guy who was driving slow and was nearly clipped by the Porsche. If the 3 of us had collided we would all have been dead. Who would have been to blame, the slow driver, the fast driver or me, caught in the middle?
