I took the time today and slept in and basically chillaxed the whole day. After weeks of heat and the resulting drought, it finally rains here over Dresden. The Rain came all the way from France and started falling last night. And it has been raining the whole day at a frequency which is a true blessing. I hope it keeps raining for some more hours here over Saxony. The plants and animals need the water so desperately.
Last night I talked to
FialaFernbrugg until my neighbors called me out to go downtown with them. While we were on the phone, I went to Kaufland and was able to show Christoph some details of the store. And of course I got some Austrian beer to enjoy while talking to him. We had a good talk as always. And on my way there, I saw a Camaro.
Despite the fact that many people here in the East think that the people of the West (of Germany) are evil (rich(er), arrogant and spoiled), there are many fans of American cars around here.
I often see them and sometimes I have enough time to pull my phone out of the pocket in time:
As I learned from a friend, this is a longbed pick-up truck.
More and more people in their mid 20's buy some nice 80s cars which have become affordable by now.
The VW T1 on the other hand has sky-rocketed in value over the past couple decades. They go somewhere from 70,000-200,000€ depending on condition.
Many other classic cars from BMW gain value every year as well. Their beauty is timeless...
Here in Germany all Vintage and Classic Cars get an H-license plate. H stands for historic.
