I was raised overseas - primarily in europe and have been to germany many many times. Germany is one of my least favorite european countries. I hate the food and the beer - Belgians make the best european beers followed by the Dutch, then Germany, and probably a 2-way tie for 4th between the French and the British, though I have to admit this is totally subjective.

It is true that in the past 40 years europe has developed their own expressway system similar to our Interstate system, but that accounts for less than 5% of all the roads. The majority, as I've said, are narrow twisty roads, some of which date back to Roman times.

It wasn't so much a history lesson, but in a discussion between american and european cars - History matters !
