    What’s not on the picture: The BMW approaching in the rear-view mirror flashing the long beams.

    Remember, no matter how fast you go on the Autobahn, there is always someone faster than you.

    I rented a Fiesta when I was there for work and I think I hit about 110mph, but I live in Detroit and our highways are nicknamed the Michigan Autobahn so 90+ is not unusual. What was unusual and required some attention were the cars coming up behind you at over 150mph. If you chose to pass you had to look a lot further back to see if anyone was coming or you’d cut some Porsche/Merc/Beemer off.
    I had a lot more fun on the twisting back roads in Germany and Belgium

    I find that the majority of the time all that is needed is to take my foot off the accelerator. Sometimes it seems like I’m the only driver on the road that is aware you don’t have to accelerate until you brake if you just manage your speed accelerating and coasting.
