I am renting a Hertz Tesla Y LR for two weeks in September in Frankfurt DE. $1000 for the rental. Includes free charging at Tesla and Hertz designated stations.
This is my first time in a Tesla. I can tell you I won't be using the autopilot going 200KM/hour on the autobahn!

 

Two guys crashed and died at 140 mph.

 

YIKES. 140mph. Makes me wonder if they had tires rated for that kind of prolonged speed. I'm sure it happened too fast to suffer.

 

Pretty much a brand new 911 Turbo S, so the tires were definitely up to the task.

Shame, but entirely preventable.

 

There was another head on collision about 5 miles from my house today both cars burst into flames. They had the road closed down all day.
Yesterday a propane service truck caught fire about 5 miles further south from were today's accident was and it had just been picked up from being serviced the whole truck burned to the ground. It was a utility truck not a tanker looked like an F-350.

 

The EVO upgrade is finally done. Unfortunately Rob could not pick up the car and shoot a hand-over segment due to his wife's sudden non-life-threatening health emergency. He did video a short clip the guys at SA included near the end of this video. He will go up and pick up the car sometime in the next few weeks.

On a side note, I spent last week at my Mom's, giving my sisters and my aunt a break from their combined 24 hour care duties. This week I am in Ohio at Robs. This visit was already planned before his wife's health issues arose. Now I am mostly just trying to be helpful with chores like cooking and cleaning. Rob and I may go over to Mid Ohio tomorrow to watch Dart Kart. Not exactly IMSA but Rob has a season pass. Too bad I won't be here next week for the Mid-Ohio Vintage Gran Prix.

 

Hey Mike, great looking and sharp sounding son - definitely a car guy. Clearly the shop was pleased with how the car turned out. Hope all goes well with Robs wife.

 

Canadian Formula 1 grand prix this weekend. Vettel shows up with a T-shirt displaying his displeasure for Canadian crude oil. I thought that was very disrespectful, meanwhile his country of Germany bought all of the Russian oil and gas it could get - what a knob. I wonder how his race car will get filled up with gasoline ?

 

.and a big lot more….!!!!
