Look kid, you've obviously never been or lived in Germany. You have no idea about how after 6pm this country shuts down. They have twice as many holidays as we do, meaning everything is closed, and will take any reason to close up shop. Almost all the Germans on post treat us like we owe them something. And its almost impossible to find something as simple as the oil filter you need. The exchange rate is retarded, and i can't even get internet at my house in my "village". So compared to the great U.S. of A., in my opinion, this country is crap.... Me saying this country is crap, is my opinion which i am entitled to as are you. :patriot:

I have actually heard good things, atleast only the good things, from a friend that was stationed in Germany for 6 years. It sounds like you really cant wait to get back to the states lol. We should still be here.

Btw very nice 180, its still sexy fresh. How come swaps never end up looking like that? Milage?

I always tell ppl, Germany is great... for a month or so. The convenience of America isn't here. I miss so much of the states its crazy. I'm ready to have more then 8 tv channels,able to go eat after 8pm wal-marts,o'reilly auto, and everything in between . Some people love it here and wanna stay, its beautiful, clean, safe, and awesome for travel. But it's not home. ;) I'm have way done with my 3 year stay here :) lol

Oh and it has right around 135,000 miles...

Sorry i just think your looking at it from a one sided point of view. I lived over there for a few years and have loads of family all around so i try to keep a open mind when i go to a new places. They deffently do things differently and its defiantly more "old school" in terms of going out and stuff but it takes all of a week to learn whats what...

99% of the people i know that go over seas always come back and say "the people are a** holes and everything sucks" but they dont think that those people dont do things the same way and look down on a lot of stuff we take for granted in the states...

If you brought this state side, you could drive it and then part it for more than you bought it for.
