(Vent) Autobahn going the way of the dinosaur?

[brianm at earendel.org (Brian McGarvey)]

WHoo hoo..
Just remember folks.. Thats where *I* learned to drive. SO It really 
REally irritates the begezuz out of me when I drive in VA where the fast 
lane is the farmost RIGHT hand lane. and the left lane is ALWAYS plugged 
by some yahoo. 

Also Ron, I remember all the driving tips on AFN. Count to 3.. do you have 
enough space... Also the tips from the german friends Farhshule says dont 
swerve over xxxKpH you will die, and kill other people. Also 3 sec spacing 
at 100mph only makes sure somebody is seriously injured/killed (delta 
velocity between the cars.) Oh yeah my dodge omni would only go 110 for 
about 3 minutes before starting to heat up. :-) at 10 minutes I had to 
slow to 70mph or it would overheat. 

My personal favorite was the Graffenver(sp) adverts, On a entering 
a priority road a TANK does NOT have the right of way. (scene showing a 2 
dimensional vw/audi/porsche/ford/etc)
