Heads up display says: No speed limit (Ende aller Streckenverbote<\/em> sign), 226 km\/h, go straight for 18 km, then keep right<\/p><\/div>\n

to get from hamburg to l\u00fcbz<\/a> for the nena concert<\/a> i rented a bmw 3-series on big sale (it ended up being the cheapest automatic, fancy or not at \u20ac53 total for 1 day) and loved it. it handled great, even at high speeds, and the heads-up display not only told you how fast you were going, but the speed limit and navigation directions as well. [the speed limit thing is important — contrary to popular belief, only certain sections of the autobahn have no speed limit<\/a>, and the limits change constantly, so having the car tell you what it is rather than keeping an eye out for signs was great.]<\/p>\n

in any case, the point of the post: i topped out over 226 km\/h, probably around 232 km\/h (~144 mph), which beat my last speedy autobahn drive<\/a> by about 20 km\/h or about 14 mph, and back then i didn’t sustain the high speeds like i did this time. i probably would have gone faster but i felt bad for wasting gas, since there’s a very clear gauge in that car that tells you, basically, you’re driving hella inefficiently.<\/p>\n

the only thing was, it wasn’t until after i finished the drive that i noticed a sticker in the upper left of the windshield and on the key tag that says you’re not allowed to go over 210 km\/h because the tires aren’t rated for faster than that, so maybe it’s a good thing i didn’t push it. oopsie daisies! and yes, mom, on the way back to hamburg, i kept to 210 and below.<\/p>\n

wheeee!<\/p>\n

UPDATE: even more related: the \u20ac15 speeding ticket<\/a> i got in this car.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
