This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I've rented cars all over Europe. Autobahn is fun but not as fun as twisty mountain roads.

Also the enforcement there is very strict. You can get away with a lot more in north america.

Another thing is that in Europe you need to spend way more money to get a fun car. I've only ever gotten to drive 4 cylinder vehicles over there, with such low horsepower that those models aren't even sold over here haha.

I've driven all over Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Poland, Czech Republic, Iceland, Finland. And the most fun roads I've ever driven are still sea to sky highway, icefields pkwy, and top of the world highway. Nothing in all of Europe is even going to come close to these driving experiences for multiple reasons.

Iceland comes close, but if you speed they will catch you. And a 90hp car there costs the same as a 300hp car here.

That navy frigate is sick btw.

Also a few of the things I said were a direct quote from here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8FkLP8En6k

Driving in Iceland indeed was a lot of fun. Norway and Sweden also have many pretty roads. I'm ok with sightseeing with a car, but for just travel it's just boring.
