Autobahn is IMHO the overated thing in Germany, mostly 130 km/h -> 70 mls....

You are correct regarding the European summer 2003.
I am not so sure regarding your comments on the Autobahn. Many Americans like to drive on the left side (Ueberhol-Spur) forever, even on the Interstate. And other pass on the right side ... That is "unhealthy" on German Autobahns.
Next, an American driver driving 80 mph might be shocked, when a BMW, Porsche ... approaches him from behind (with full halogen lights on/blinking) with 180+ mph.
I don't say that Autobahn is dangerous, just that it can be dangerous, if and when the drivers are not alert and don't follow the "rules of that motorway"..stay right, keep distance (Abstand), overtake carefully ...
