<x-charset iso-8859-1>I haven't driven on the Autobahn; however, if it is worse than Cairo, my heart wouldn't take it. If you haven't driven in Cairo, nobody can describe it to you. Can you imagine a culture with no fear of dying let loose in automobiles? Their mantra is "enshalla" (loosely translated it means "it is the will of God.") After they put the pedal to the metal, all else is truly in the hands of God. I had driven in Puerto Rico, Italy, Turkey, Spain, Trinidad, Mexico, and NYC; however, none of these came close to Cairo for pure hair-raising terror. Thomas E.
