It's true tho, in the usa an M4 is a school buss, here it's pretty useless 9 months of the year.

You can get snow tires and drive an M4 year round no different than any underpowered lil cars you guys drive in Finland. Hahaha

Actually, the snow is never an issue, it is how badly the roads break down while they melt.

Well then the lil cars you guys drive in Finland will have the same issue no different than an M car on snow tires. It's sad if cars are useless in Finland 9 months of the year.

I don't like suv's, and here my dogs are without a leash always, we live next to a school and our cabin is close by. I haven't needed a car just for myself for a year, so i rather spend my money on other things.

As much fun as an M4 there is, here for me it wouldn't do much good. I'm sure that is a crime.

You generalized, you made it sound like the M4 is useless in Finland 9 months of tge year when you started talking about how the snow melts on the roads.
If you dont need a car then an M4 is useless as well even in the US.

No, there the roads and the distances were different there compared to here. Your cities is developed for driving, here for walking. There an M4 is a resonable daily for a car lover, here it would be wasted, since i can't take a month off here to do a road trip.

It's that simple man, as much fun as peter II was, he is better off left behind. At times i play around with the idea of buying one here, but spending 200k on a car i would hardly use seems a pit pointless.

It's not a crime, i was just sayin if your husband's income is taxed close to 65% and the M4 costs $200k i couldn't afford one either. Another reason i love my country.

The max here is 55%, and I'll let you know if he ever buys me a car, or even fills up the tank of my toy boys.

Priorities change throughout the life, the place you're located makes a big difference too. I M not one of those people who polishes a car, i do stupid shit with them. I'm sure the pressing urge to get a toy again comes along again, but until then, i can always borrow the hubbys car for fetching milk.

55% plus 24% VAT, my Lord!

But at least into Germany you're be able to test its real speed w/o got fined on our motorways...ok, I'll overtake you beyond of your max speed of 280km/h, but this is only a small side effect
Let me say a small word to your much lower prices into US for BMW: I would buy a featured car too and save much money to spend it elsewhere but the power and the speed could never be used as it was meant aside on tracks. Thats a reason to love my country

They have Wyoming for that, and Montana.

Your autobahns are epic too, it has been too long since i have had the pleasure of driving them at night time. We were going to do a very touristy trip with the boys this summer but our damn german Shepard spent the summer while recuperating from first a frozen tail, then a bad rash so i couldn't leave them to the hubby.

Oh well, next summer then. The kids are studying german so they don't have to speak English.

[Dang3r]

Really, they have 2 unreglemented states where they could drive as fast as they like? Thats cool.
So your kids would speak for you German and you just listen? Or what should I conclude from this?

That my german sucks balls, and even though it's my second language, i need some serious time with a dictionary to relearn it. I spent a summer there once and an other in Austria but apparently 15 years of my life studying has been washed away by old age. We used to say that german was the best language ever since it's so regular and the only reason everyone is not fluent in it is that after listening for 5 minutes, a foreigner spots the verb and needs ten minutes to remember what came befor it.

Those states have speed limits, i just never saw a cop anywhere. The most beautiful places I've ever seen.

Gas is cheap here!

I track my car twice a month! It's much better than a stock M4. Öhlins coilovers, camber plates and 285's tires all around.

It's the acceleration that i like and the handling, doing 80 mph vs 540 mph feels the same to me.

I have a nice house, in Europe most of the people in my field live in tiny apartments, drive their lil cars while being taxed up to their eyeballs and left with just enough money to survive.

And the EU made it very difficult for a lil guy to start a business, i have friends that own their own businesses here.

I really love my country, i pray it doesn't become like Europe.

Yeah true, gas was always cheap at your country.
I think, coming from the early development US and Germany cant be compared. I never would change our grown social insurance system to your "money cures all" system.
You maybe got taxed or charged for other things I dont know exactly and here a car isnt automaticly a status of success or looser, if its only a small car. My funnier looking half loves her small VW Polo and dont wants a bigger car. My RS5 is here around the only one within the next miles and not to see at every corner like my 4 before. But its no status symbol for me though.
So we both have our favs and fails into our countries, thats normal.

Another thing that's cheap here, flying! I have relatives that own planes, something that'd be impossible if they were taxed like in Europe. It's not about status symbol, they love to fly.
Most of the world's airlines get their pilots training in the US.

Like Reagan used to say, "The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I' m here to help."

That's why We dont like big centralized gvt run by Brussels bureaucrats like you guys do and maybe why the Brits got out of the EU.

Lufthansa's flight school in Arizona.

Based on my experiences with flight sims and video games, I think flight school is out of the question for me.
