    I'm gonna answer everything in this post.

    I had the car shipped over here for free, and the military will ship your POV to USAFE for free wether you are single or married, 2 or 3 years. Now remote tours don't count, (15-18 months).

    The wife was very happy, just doesn't look like it in the pic. In fact, she set it up. She surprised me with a bed and breakfast for Sat night and Sunday we went to the ring with some buddies. She's a Mustang girl herself, she owns an 04 GT which is in Houston right now.

    I don't get to keep the euro plates when I leave (at least I don't think I get to) and I didn't have to do anything for it to pass inspection thankfully.

    I did 2 laps in the Boss and rode with my buddy who has a built C5 Z06. The Z06 ride was fucking nuts and he wasn't going balls to the wall either. The other car buddy has over 13 THOUSAND laps on the Ring and was a driving instructor for the track for 10 years. He took out Brandy for a ride in the Boss and she said it was crazy fun. He loved the car, but did say it was kinda "boaty" but I did have the shocks on setting 2 (forgot the screwdriver at home ) The first lap I drove in the Boss was scary as fuck. Like, I almost wanted to say fuck it and go slow lol. I didn't however and just kept my mind focused and went as fast as I was comfy with. At one point an M5 got a little ballsy next to me entering a turn and was sliding towards me. That scared me a good bit haha. I did go through the carousels like a boss! (at least in my mind I did, I'm sure they weren't perfect lol)

    Also, if a German did offer to buy the Boss, it'd be hard to refuse. Especially if it were for like $40-50K euro. Jesus I could pay off the car, and all debt and buy another lol.

      Bad ass story.
      HUGE kudos to the wifey for being a car girl, and for setting that up!

              Very cool. Didn't you have your car for sale before you left? I say try and sell it over there if what everyone is saying about the value of them there.

                I did have it up for sale before I got over here. And it is up for sale but only one American has replied and he was "disgusted" by the interior. He was a prissy faggot M3 owner so I didn't give a fuck. lol

                  Folks won't want to admit it but the value of your car as increased simply due to the track it has run around. Kind of like Leguna Seca.... but nicht sie kliene

                    Hell, yes. I'd take plenty of pics of the car at the track. Great photo album stuff.

                      I've put a lap or two around the ring. I was stationed at Buchel AFS. Greatest place to be. Forced you to live with the natives. You quickly learn they are great people
