I'm just picturing the American staple of greasy, messy, fattening food covered in thick sauce. Didn't think it would be popular anywhere but America. Also, our roads were made for the cars, yours were older, and made for buggies and carriages, then simply paved for the cars when they came along, so ours are generally straighter, hence, less need for handling capabilities. We're catching up, though.

A lot of the US interstate system was modeled after the German Autobahn after WWII. But yeah, a lot of the smaller, rural roads in Germany/Europe are narrow with tight turns.

Also, the way I see it, if his family had $78k to drop on a headstone, he probably had one, if not could have afforded one had he not died.

Has to be a joke because BBQ wasn't even invented in the U.S. I don't think Troux is that retarded.

This guy probably had several bmw's laying around after he died. Maybe they sold them to help the cost.

i think that is great because when people visit his grave they will enjoy their memories of him and his cars.

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.

Carrying that idea a bit further.......

..................what if a person was known for attempted procreation in the reclining front seat of a Honda Accord parked somewhere at Courtney Campbell Causeway every weekend, then when all the chics he knew visit HIS grave they could enjoy THEIR memories of him and his car.......... ............-Bob
