No, it'll take longer than that. The traffic in Dutchland is always clogged up!

Yes, just find your place in the formation, follow the car in front of you for a few hours and you will arrive well rested.  But why does everybody have a trailer rolling behind the car? Rumors have it that even police cars pull around trailers. Do they ever catch anyone? And what do they have in the trailers? Fries?

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

There's always the sex museum, it's full of weird (or perfectly normal depending on your stance) stuff.

If you don't want POT nor a prostitute, you can always see them in the pub The Old Sailor

It was discussed a few threads down.
And since I have recently bought a new car I thought I'd give you what I look at.
1. Automatic gearbox, since my wife refuse to use anything else.
2. The chair is very important, since I have recurring back problems and often enough drive long distances.
3. A large luggage compartment is important when you drive long distances with the whole family.
4. A big enough engine to keep me from being a road block on autobahn.
5. Reasonably low fuel consumption. Because money.
0. Accepted by my wife.
6. ACC.
7. Good headlights.
8. No Peugeot, Renault or Opel.
This is my first level filter. But I'm not religious about it.

-1000....10000. Accepted by my wife.
That is the main [edit*]and only[edit*]Point and makes life that much easy

That's reality.

For me it is easy
1. Pickup truck
2. Engine that can tow at least 12,000 lbs.

Wow, big wife?

Not in any particular order:
Price
4 Wheel Drive
Mileage
Good seats
Decent enough engine (no autobahn here)
Good turning radius
Road visibility (I've driven cars with huge blind spots because of pathetic window arrangement)

Road visibility is a serious problem nowadays since all cars needs to be crash proof.
But atleast you're less likely to die in that crash you caused from not seeing that other car.
|
|
|
|

Price... Yeah, that's pretty much my main concern when buying a car.
Currently I drive less than 10000 km a year, which is close to nothing, but I do really need that car 
Luckily my work pays for it (mostly).

Sad fact of the day - a 660 cc engine is sufficient to avoid being a roadblock on *any* road or highway in Tokyo
(Sad for me anyway)
The speed limit on a lot of roads is 30. Kilometers per hour, not miles. Totally insane! Lucky it isn't enforced too strictly.
For me,
Automatic gearbox (same reason, her license is limited to automatic)
7 seater or bigger
Red
Reasonably fuel efficient
NOT a Toyota (either ugly or ridiculously expensive or occasionally both)
Locally manufactured (maintenance too costly otherwise)
Hybrid if possible (because of lower taxes)
Quiet enough to hear radio

1.Price
2.Shifter (I hate automatic)
3.Age
4.KM
5.German
6.Fuel Consumption (Diesel)
7.Wagon, because we need space to carry the wifes house with us
8.Not French
9.HP to tow stuff (120HP+ diesel are mostly sufficient)
10. Does the lady like it?

1. Comfortable but not too big - parkings are what they are and narrow roads are the norm.
2. Hardiness. A car that breaks down every 10.000 kms or has problems from the scratch is a no-go
3. GPL or very low fuel consumption. With petrol at 1.5€/liter even short trips cost. A lot.
4. Average engine - powerful enough to be at ease at cruising speed, but less than 1800cc possibly because insurance price grows linearly with engine power. A 900 cc costs me 500€/year and I have the lowest possible merit class, it can't go further down.
5. SAFETY. No more cares without ABS if I can help it.
6. PRICE. No debts for a car please. That's a problem in Italy as even small city cars costs no less than 15.000€.
7. Average luggage compartment with collapsible rear seats.

- Automatic[1]
- Large enough to fit a couple of 7'6" spears
Everything else is negotiable.
