I live in Germany. 500 miles is more than essentially all domestic flights in Germany. Two hours driving by car from Berlin gets you nowhere all that interesting. You'd probably spend close to an hour just getting out of the city. Two hours might get you as far as Magdeburg or Dresden when traffic is mild. Good luck with that on a busy weekday. Dresden would be about 200km. Magdeburg is a bit closer to 160km. And much of the way you'd be facing speed limits. And traffic jams.
- RajT88 29d agorunako was making a joke about someone's grueling drive of 500 miles in 2 hours. ...Which would mean you're driving at 250mph.
- rbanffy 29d ago“250mph” AVERAGE speed. Most cars take off at that speed.
- RajT88 29d agoMost cars burn their engines out long before that. But damn, if it would not be fun to melt an engine driving at the redline in a straight line.
- w-m 29d agoThere are cars with engines that will bring you to 250 mph without burning out, like the Bugatti Chiron. Unfortunately you will burn through your $40k set of tires after 15 minutes at that speed. But don’t fret, because your fuel tank will be empty after 9 minutes anyhow.
