Hey Crosseyed..... I have seen several variations of your avatar in the past. But, the only other place that I have seen these variations is at the last Macheist. Are you by chance a Mac user? Now, about the autobahn..... I lived in Stuttguart for 3 years... 86 - 89. I had a 735i which was a very cool autobahn cruizer. The one thing that I never got over while I was there was....... Everytime I saw a polizei on the autobahn, my foot automatically went for the brake. I would feel stupid every time I did it, and I would smile to myself, and put my foot back into the gas.
