    I’ve rented cars all over Europe. Autobahn is fun but not as fun as twisty mountain roads.

    Also the enforcement there is very strict. You can get away with a lot more in north america.

    Another thing is that in Europe you need to spend way more money to get a fun car. I’ve only ever gotten to drive 4 cylinder vehicles over there, with such low horsepower that those models aren’t even sold over here haha.

    I’ve driven all over Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Poland, Czech Republic, Iceland, Finland. And the most fun roads I’ve ever driven are still sea to sky highway, icefields pkwy, and top of the world highway. Nothing in all of Europe is even going to come close to these driving experiences for multiple reasons.

    Iceland comes close, but if you speed they will catch you. And a 90hp car there costs the same as a 300hp car here.

    That navy frigate is sick btw.

    Also a few of the things I said were a direct quote from here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8FkLP8En6k

    If you interfaced well with vehicles you wouldn’t have said “boring”

    Ignite the combustion engine and control something larger than yourself

    (just seeing you live in Netherlands though, yeah not the most fun country to drive at all lol)

    But like, sea to sky highway for example in a sports car. That’s one of the true joys in life. What a time to be alive
