I'm located in a little town near Oppenheim and Nierstein called Dexheim. I am still not sure why they didn't offer this option in the US. I know for a fact that that most German cars have AC issues prolly due to the fact that they really don't need it over here in Germany!! If it were Georgia hot and humid over here, you'd be darn sure you could hang meat in the cabins!! BUT, due to the fact that they aren't that crucial in Germany, they were under engineered. They are getting better from what I have heard, but don't have any experience with them. I know my Ford Ranger will freeze you out in the summer even with 90 plus temps. With a dark blue/ blue truck, it helps trumendously.

On the German side of things, I'm in the middle of very famous wine country out here. That's all you see around our tiny post....vineyards. Nice and quiet for the most part, although a bit isolated for those without wheels. I'm about 45 minutes from Frankfurt and 30 minutes from Wiesbaden, which is gorgeous, albeit expensive. But hey, there are more millionaires per capita there than anywhere else in Germany from what I hear!!! Parking is also a bear there, I prefer the trains...work great and get you just about anywhere you want to go around there.
