In Germany from San Diego, Cali!

sd_luis · 02-05-2016, 12:29 PM

Haven't posted anything in a while, I just got stationed overseas and as soon as I got my orders to Germany with the go ahead of shipping 1 POV at Government expense I said Heck yeah! So I just had my car registered after a pain in the ass German Inspection! Quick picture I took with my car on euro plates!

Alen E90 · 02-05-2016, 01:03 PM

Sick shot bro and enjoy those euro plates while you're there!

vladberca · 02-05-2016, 01:19 PM

Looks great!
How much are the taxes to register it?

I don't pay taxes here in Germany for being military. I just pay a small fee to register the car but that's it.

They are veeeeery strict about modded cars! Vehicle Height, loudness, no stretch wheels, no oil leaks, not tint on the front. They failed me for my tires, and for having missing plastics on the underbody. They also make sure your car passes emission requierments. Similiar like in California.

I will keep an eye out for you whenever I am in the K-town area. Welcome to Germany brother! Remember, keep to the right on the autobahn except when passing. When it is 3 lanes, even though you will see people doing it, it is NOT ok to cruise in the middle lane.

By the way, if you want to open the car up, head south on A6 towards Mannheim. There are a couple of speed zones but as you get close to Gruenstadt/ Eisenberg area it will open up for ya.

On the way back to Ktown, get on the B37 and do the curvies. B37 has a few parts like the Dragon.
