Didn't mean it like that, man. You know the saying, when they learn a little of a foreign language "I know just enough to get me in trouble" . I wouldn't have thought you'd be the kind to be like that, anyways!

 

Thank goodness most Germans speak at least a little English....trouble is, they wait for you to try and speak German first (I guess it's a game of one-upmanship). Once you make a fool out of yourself grammer wise, they'll smile and start talking to you so you can understand....[&:]

 

heh, ive done that in a dakota in the winter when the battery was drained way low. i had to do it at every stop because the engine would just die if i wasnt rolling. weird experience.

 

NASCAR drivers and pit crews have been doing it the same way as well when they stall in the pits....[&:]
