I just hope the quality of German cars is not allowed to slip. Best cars in the world, IMO.

Q. If an American has lost his car keys, does he ask his wife to help him locate his "automobile keys", or would he say "car keys"?

Hed say car keys.


If you say 'automobile' people will think you're gay or insufferably educated.


In short, you'd look like a brit ;) ;) ;)

why are the germans the only ones to call their cars "road cars"?

my honda drives on the road just fine.

saw a comparison test on a TV car show (forget which one) between a Corvette and a Porsche, they were about  equal
until they got to the price, the "german road car" was $80,000, the corvette was $42,000.

Over 40 years of communism in half the country is a *****.

"Unemployment


This employment figure is offset by the fact that on average in 2003 there were more than four million people without work. The unemployment rate among all civilians available for work stood at 10.5 percent, an increase of 0.7 percent on 2001, meaning that almost one in ten people able to work was without gainful employment. In west Germany, the unemployment rate stood at 8.4 percent and in east Germany at 18.5 percent."

I'm patiently waiting for a German citizen to point out that he doesn't care what Americans think about his country and that Americans should mind their own business.
