MODERATORS
No car that is sold to consumers need to go 120 mph... There's no reason for it. Yet sports cars that go 200 are sold to anyone with a check.
It's crazy
Autobahn is one. But that is only Germany.
Weird how the autobahn with its promise of unlimited speed manages to attract the motorized psychos of Europe, to the degree that almost every episode of Top Gear had a segment set in Germany.
I regularly drive 150km/h, that's far from motorized psycho, on an empty long highway. Wtf, you guys are wimps.
Check units. Comment was for 120 mph not km/h
Oh wow. You're right. i didn't expect mph in an European news. My brain just filled it with kmh. Most here use kmh
