Weird how the autobahn with its promise of unlimited speed manages to attract the motorized psychos of Europe, to the degree that almost every episode of Top Gear had a segment set in Germany.

I regularly drive 150km/h, that's far from motorized psycho, on an empty long highway. Wtf, you guys are wimps.

Check units. Comment was for 120 mph not km/h

Oh wow. You're right. i didn't expect mph in an European news. My brain just filled it with kmh. Most here use kmh
