One of my great experiences of last year was driving a giant snake-like Audi on the autobahn while listening to Kraftwerk, but muh dude has a point. Stuff can get pretty intense, especially up in the crowded regions of the Ruhr. I actually trusted most of the other drivers because their behavior was precise rather than foolhardy and because I know about the ridiculous $4000 training program for the Führerschein, but those would have looked like real dick moves if done in any other part of the world.
For my money, best driving experience for a country is Spain. First class roads and drivers. Not too intense.
- saganus 7y agoGiant snake-like Audi? Like a modified limousine Audi, or? I can't picture what you are describing as I don't think the A8 qualifies as snake-like, does it? Piqued my curiosity for sure :)
- scottlocklin 7y agoTry driving it in their bomb-shelter parking garages or turning around on one of their raised agricultural dirt roads; it's like driving a big black snake. They don't look real big in America, but for Europe an A8 is bloody hyooge.
- saganus 7y agoI've never driven an A8, and it definitely looks like a very big car. I just thought that you were referring to something else. But yeah, I can imagine that a car that big is hard to maneuver pretty much anywhere.
- scottlocklin 7y agoIt was OK on the autobahn, and mostly OK in cities, but there was a lot of car behind me. Had an odd stance compared to other big cars I've driven (mostly old 60s stuff like an Olds Jetstar or pickup trucks); felt very snakey.
