Default Hello from Germany

Hello all. My name is Jeremy, and I am soon to be the proud owner of an '02 WS6. I am 30 years old (as of next month) and stationed in Germany. I have been in the USAF for almost 12 years. The car I am getting is completely stock, so I have a bit of work ahead of me to get this thing autobahn-worthy. Looking forward to learning some stuff and meeting some good people.

Wow... what a coincidence.

I'll be 30yrs old next month too, and I've been in the USAF for almost 12yrs as well (December I'll hit 12yrs).

Never been stationed in Germany, but I've visited friends in K-town a few times. I was over at the Heath at the time.

Anyway, welcome to LS1tech.

Thanks for the warm welcomes. I am stationed at Spangdahlem. Been here since November, and will be here through November 09. I know the autobahn is fun, having rented a Mercedes C-class a couple of times for road trips (a lot more classy than my 95 Opel wagon!!). But I really can't wait to experience an American muscle car on a road without speed limits.

Welcome to the ranks man!!! I was in the Army there for 5 years. Wish I had an Fbody then! My wife keeps wanting us to move back. She is German. Did you know that they dyno test your car over there every year for insurance purposes? They rate your cost off HP numbers. I would never be able to afford my car over there!LOL Enjoy.
