But that was in Germany.

As I drove at 55-65 mph today for two and a half hours, I noticed that I did pass cars- going the speed limit, I wasn't the slowest driver on the road.
Wow! I can't even fathom going "160 on the Autobahn, just cruising not paying attention to his rear ...". That'd be a white-knuckle, hyper attentive ride all the way for me!
