We ought to build a refinery or two up north, closer to the source, rther
than piping it all the way across a continent, then bck up for

You're probably right - last I read, we ship 40% of the Diesel we produce
overseas, could increase that if we had more to ship. Doesn't help energy

I have a link to a 560 on the autobahn. It's not a track, but it is a nice

the miles at speed. I'll post it if I can find it again.

Here's that YouTube clip of the 560. Just proper high speed motoring, as
is should be. :-)
