It was such a revelation to drive in Germany, where drivers do not set up camp in the left lane and go into a road coma like they do here in the U.S..

We were in Europe for a month for a trip we built around the European Delivery of my wife's new custom-ordered BMW Track Pack car at the factory in Munich during Oktoberfest. After putting 1,000 miles or so on it driving through Germany, Austria, Liechtenstein, over the Swiss Alps into northern Italy (to tour Lamborghini, Ferrari, Maserati, Pagani, Ducati, and MV Agusta), we finally found an unrestricted section of Autobahn back in Germany on our way to drive the world famous Nurburgring Nordschleife. Even at 155 mph, we kept an eye on our rear view mirrors and used the left lane for passing only.
