To be fair, the unrestricted autobahns are pretty dull multi lane highways. Even in Germany, the fun roads have speed limits.

But it has always struck me as odd that the US touts its "freedoms" so boldly but doesn't extend this to the roads. If I was being facetious, I'd say the US was a place where it's OK for everyone to have guns, but you get harassed by the police for driving anything faster than an excruciating crawl!
