I enjoyed myself; it was like driving like I always WISHED I could. I drove through Germany, France, Switzerland and Italy. You must be aggressive to drive through cities in Italy and Paris, France. Autobahns/ autoroutes/autostratas are all 4 lane (2 in each direction) and very well maintained. In Italy and France, tolls must be paid on the auto/route/strata. Also, there are tolls through the tunnels. The reason that cars look so good in Germany is that their cars must pass yearly inspections or they cannot be driven, plus German drivers take great pride in their cars. While Germany is the only country to not have a posted speed limit on their auto*, but most other countries don't monitor. Be careful off the auto*. audrey ishizaki hplabs!ishizaki
