This would have been helpful for my first couple of stretches on the Autobahn. As a car enthusiast, it really is nirvana, not just for the sections without a speed limit but also because people are actually serious about their driving and respectful of others. My favorite run was a midnight departure from Munich all the way to Hamburg in 5 hours and an on-the-road speed with the engine pegged to the redline (speedometer indicated 240 kph = 148.8 mph). It also gives you a much better understanding and respect for how the German cars are made and what they are designed to be capable of.
