I hate being stuck behind a computer all day! 😉
I’m currently near San Pedro, Belize in some resort condos with my team from work. We’re co-working here for the week in person. Normally we’re remote and spread across the world.

Mercedes-Benz Museum
Rental Car Top Speed
Achievement unlocked: we maxed out our Mercedes-Benz E250 rental car on the Autobahn in Germany. No, I have no idea why it has winter tires on it in August.
Riding Around The Nürburgring
Video when I get home, but here’s a quick photo for now of actually being out on the Nürburgring! I got rides in three very different cars. I didn’t drive though as it costs a fortune to get a rental that is allowed on the Ring.
Nürburgring!
I finally had a chance to see the infamous Nürburgring race track yesterday! Historic races were going on with many cool old cars.
I should be getting some rides around it tomorrow!

Camping In Germany
My Ride For The Next Two Weeks
I’m in southern Germany for two weeks to see car museums and to visit the amazing Nürburgring race track. I’m camping and driving with a bunch of Europeans who are members of a car forum I run.
My rental is this Mercedes-Benz E250 diesel. I got it up to 200 kph (124 MPH) on the Autobahn yesterday before having to back off due to the 210 kph limited snow tires that are stupidly on it.
My Rental Car For The Week: A Ford Fusion
I’m in Georgia for the week to attend the WordPress Community Summit and I have a rental car for the week in order to get around. It’s one of the newer Ford Fusions:
From a design standpoint, I like it, especially the interior. However the seats are rather hard and the automatic transmission is rather slow to shift. That said I keep trying to hit the clutch pedal and I’m not used to an automatic transmission so for all I know this is how all automatic transmissions are like.
