S- I missed the last day for the Nurburgring by a week. Thinking about making up for it at Porsche, they have a GT3 Taxi at Leipzig (I'd be happy with a boxter or Cayenne, checking availablity, and if they'll let a 19 year old with 3 accident free years drive the pilot experiences)

X- Weather Permitting, yes. Biergarten, if theres a hotel nearby. Twisties and being a lightweight don't go together well

M- Good to know. Theres no "right on red" in France, either, they just don't have stop signs instead (Whoever is coming from the right has right of way, even if it is onto a departmental thoroughfare. I have the GPS, and if they run out, I'll get one at FNAC before I leave France, complete with the locations of all the radars.
I'll be sure to turn off the automatic start-stop when I get into that zone.
