The Germans are a car-loving nation – there’s no doubt about that. It’s the only country in the world with no speed limit on the freeways, the country where some families have more cars than kids, the land of the Mercedes. The relationship between Germans and their cars is one of harmonial bliss. The owners love their vehicles and cater to their every need, as if they were saying: It’s not just a car, but a commitment. Most Germans have their cars washed regulary at an automatic car wash. For some of them though, the brush-rollers there are too rough and so they prefer to wash their cars by hand in order to protect the finish. But watch out! In Germany you’re only allowed to do this at a self-service car wash, since washing your car on the street in front of your house is said to pollute the environment. But wouldn’t it be nice if all your neighbors could see you spoiling and caressing your little „darling“. Like everywhere else in the world the car in Germany has become a status symbol. But, of course, you only drive the kind of car you can really afford. And if you decide to change cars, the only way you can go is up, i.e. to a bigger, faster, more expensive car. By downsizing for example from a Mercedes to an Opel you could save a lot of money, but then you’d better have a heck of a lot of chutzpa.
