I'll let you in on a little secret. I'm German.
I know what I'm talking about. I spend 16h a month on the autobahn.
so am I
I can absolutely understand that not everybody wants to shell out on a fast car (in fact, I don't have any car at the moment- it just doesn't make any sense when you live within 30 minutes walking of everything you ever have to reach, in a country where 70% of all drivers should be in a mental institution, but instead result in a max speed limit of 70 mph
)
however, when I move back to our Wirtschaftswunderland I'll probably invest in a fast car again. Not for the girls because a)that doesn't work and b)I don't need that (hopefully). I simply love driving fast (not dangerous!) in a high quality car.
