Autobahn Auf Wiedersehen
A couple weeks ago I got the chance to get over to Germany to peep out the new Volkswagen Golf on her home turf. While the trip was an epic pilgrimage for me on several levels, I have to say that to be unleashed onto the autobahn in a zero mileage, fine-tuned TDI was damn near a defining moment in my life. I always knew that speed limits were bullshit! But past that, from the mind-blowing efficiency of the Germans to the historical implications of touring rural eastern Germany in a VW, the trip was a once in a lifetime experience. I have a bunch to share but let me start with me and the homie Nikhil mad lost on drive day #1. It was 8am and the gas station was selling beer and this old dude was telling us that the autobahn was in every direction. It wasn’t.
