Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

I also thought it was interesting how the germans used the Autobahn during war times as a runway for aircraft.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Saw the History of the Autobahn yesterday on the History Channel. As usual, Alois Ruf goes to work on a factory 996 TTurbo, pumps out 500+ HP and takes the car up to 212 MPH...on the autobahn! The show was very comprehensive, and discussed how the autobahn was conceived by Adolf's buddies at the Gestapo during preparations for the attack on Poland and the rest of Europe (Hurry up! Step on the gas! We need to attack Russia!!!!!), how the germans continue to drive fast on the 26 inch thick tarmac (that's a sh*tload of asphalt!), and why their highway fatality rate is still lower than that of the United States'. Those of you who watch the show and live here in the US will understand why we will never be able to drive like the Germans do. Driving is a totally different discipline in Germany. It's almost like a religion.
I saw the autobaun special last night also. Some very interesting information especialy about the design and construction. I is a dream of mine to drive my porsce on the autobaun someday, it looks like an incredible road. I think it was 26 inches of concrete instead of asphalt. They said the US opted for 21 inch thick concrete that would only last for 20 years. I also thought it was interesting how the germans used the Autobahn during war times as a runway for aircraft.

I saw the special as well, and my recollection was that the US opted for something like 14 inches of concrete - not 21, and certainly not 26. The reason I remember this tidbit was that it immediately struck me that the concrete on most US roads is less than half as thick as the autobahn. No wonder the roads around Chicago seem to be in a perpetual state of re-construction.

I think a good desciption I once heard was....over there it is viewed more as a "privilege", as opposed to a "right" (in the U.S.).
Point is, driving is not taken for granted, it is not assumed.....being able to drive (properly) has value........$1500 and a fair amount of effort last time I was over there.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
