No, I mean Autobahn. I'm a US Army guy over here in Germany. The wife drives a US spec 98 Accord Ex 4cyl. It runs 120mph all day long.
I drive a euro spec 1993 Accord 2.0i ES
It'll run up to 210kph before I hit the wall. In the last 4 months I've put 25,000km on it...and need to do some maintenence on this one as well.
I'm getting real close to dropping the 5g's for a downpayment on a Pilot for the wife. Unfortunately though, my neighbors came home with one and paid $35(almost $36k) for theirs and apparently the dealers don't deal here.
Shit, I'm looking on Edmunds at their true value for the Pilot and it runs $32k in their book. Not a penny more. So is it really a wise decision (gas prices & close proximity & parking crunch) to buy a pilot before I return to the US? The Tax benefit is only about $1500-2000.
Side note: My play car is a 1991 GMC Syclone.
