Going to Germany w/ S2000
Hi all,
It looks like I might be going to Germany for my next duty station and I have to decide what to do with car. Of course I'd like to take it with me but I'd like to hear from our European members what it's like to be a car owner there. Gas here is $1.50/gal; I know they sell by the liter and I don't even know how much that compares! Thanks for the replies.

I was also stationed in Germany and the fuel prices are the same as stateside on the military bases and, like mentioned earlier, you can buy vouchers to buy gas when you are away from base.

DUUUUUDE!!! Bring it with you! I was stationed at Ramstein from 2003-2005 and I miss driving there every day. I sold my 240sx before I got there. The good news is I went to buy another one and guess what!!! A 240sx in Germany is full-blown Nissan Silvia. SR20DET and all!
Like the others said, you can use gas vouchers when outside of the military communities. All you have to do is pre-purchase them from a base gas station.
A buddy of mine had an AP1 there and loved it. I lost count how many times he took it to Nurnburgring. Just be careful because most insurance companies wont cover you if you wreck on a track there. I learned that from a guy that had the 1st SRT4 in Germany. It lasted him all of a month! And speaking of insurance, if you dont stick with USAA, most insurance companies there base their insurance by engine displacement. so a 2.2. or 2.4 wont cost much.
Bring it! Any other questions let me know. Oh what base?
