Hello from Germany incl. video

Hi from North Germany! I´m Mona and own a 1989 Firebird with 2,8 V6. When I was a child I saw "Knight Rider" and really fell in love with (no! not Michael Knight!!!) K.I.T.T. !!! Now, some ... many years later I own this beautiful car.
Here are some pics of my ride: http://www.heppert-carshooting.com/g...firebird-1989/


Also I did a Car Review of my car:

Re: Hello from Germany incl. video

hey that has to be the most in depth video about this car I've seen so far.

Dunno how you get 12l to 100 because v6 should do less.I get @15 with a V8.The v6 top speed gets to about 190km/h...or should,I think some are limited.That car needs panels aligned ...you know it needs a bit of love

also women in muscle cars are really badass haha .I live in Europe too and I'm having hard times finding men into muscle cars ,everyone is used to drive sissy little cars....women in muscle cars it have to fake

I don't get why the mirrors have to be different there, are they afraid of aero dynamics.

back then Germany and few other countries had rules about mirrors and when GM sent the car there they added those mirrors.The same mirrors are on some Corvettes.I guess you can change them.

Re: Hello from Germany incl. video

Nice detailed video on the Mona but IMO that F**ing and s**ing language in that music steps it down.

Anyways what us American boys dream about is getting our rides out on the unlimited speed roads like the Autobahn. is that where that 106+ mph came from?

Easy: in Germany a rear view mirror has to fold inward when it hits a object. Mainly its to protect a pedestrian getting hit.

Only on american cars?
I think they have to look around at Ferrari,Lamborghini ,Porsche .If its to protect pedestrians the whole car should fold.
