Dennis has been looking forward to taking our new car to Germany and trying it out on the autoban. While we were here in June, Andrew got our little Ford rental car up to 206 kilometers per hour. I sat in the back seat, white knuckled and begging him to slow down. The rest of the family told me to go to sleep then I wouldn't know how fast he was going. Fat chance of that happening!!
Last Sunday, we went to pick Jessica up from the airport in Dusseldorf. It was early on a Sunday morning so there was minimal traffic. On the way home, Dennis got the car up to about 211 kph(131 mph). We did need to get to church at a reasonable time but I still think that there is no possible reason to need to go that fast. I can stay fairly comfortable till we get up to about 100 mph but after that I start getting anxious and encouraging him to slow down. It's always a relief to get to the Dutch border and have to drive at a more reasonable speed; reasonable being about 120 kph.

Wow. Crazy boys. Maybe they should look at the gas mileage vs speed comparison chart!
Josh and I are sitting here laughing. As if 100 mph was reasonable. Makes our 75 seem like a little old lady in the slow lane, out for a Sunday drive.
Go, Dennis, Go!!!
