So I finally got to drive a car through Germany. It wasn't a particularly nice car, but still it was something I've wanted to do for years.

It had been about 10 months since I'd driven (since I last left Colorado), so I was a bit choppy on the clutch... and had a brief problem with driving on the wrong side of the road... but otherwise it was great!

If you don't know, Germany's highways are famous for not having any speed limit! You can be cruising at 160km/h and some BMW or Porsche will suddenly zoom by you, pushing 200. It's crazy. I tried to stay below 165km (about 100mph) as it was dark, raining, and I had 5 people in the car. ;)

One of our tires suddenly exploded while my friend Moses was driving. It could have been really bad, but thankfully he didn't panic, and was able to maneuver us to the shoulder. It was scary though. Changing a tire in the pouring rain, on the side of the autobahn with semi-trucks flying past is something I won't forget.

We drove all the way from Amsterdam to Hernhutt, then to Prague, then back to Amsterdam via Frankfurt and Cologne. It was a fabulous European road trip!
