I would be surprised if a VW rental car would top out at 74.5 MPH, IIRC,
even my Metro did better than that.


I have fond memories as a kid sitting in the back seat of dad's Ford Falcon watching him
doing 90 in the slow lane of the autobahn.

Not the "slow" lane, but the travel lane. Spend any
more time in the left lane than it takes to pass, and
it's good for a hefty ticket.


I don't think dad ever made it into the left lane. Mom was riding shotgun.
