I just never owned one though.

Anyone take delivery in Germany? The $8 a gallon gas prices would be worth it for a couple thousand miles. I've riden in Mercedes that were doing about 150 before. I didn't realize how fast we were going until we were passing everything on the autobahn.
Regarding the gas prices, just hand them your credit card, sign and DON'T look at the totals. When you get home, you pay the CC off as a lump sum and don't even realize the gas price. It works much better when you live in denial on that one.

If they can get you asking the wrong questions, they don't have to worry about answers.
