Typical German Vehicles

Every German (at least those that live near the Rhine or Mosel Rivers) owns three vehicles. The first one, of course, is the cruise ship. When Nicole goes to work every morning from Koblenz to Boppard, she just hops on her cruise ship and toodles down the Rhine.



Of course, a cruise ship isn't practical for city driving, so all Germans own small, three wheeled vehicles. They get great gas mileage and you can park them anywhere. You can tell that a rich German owns this one, since it is a convertible.



And finally, every German has a vineyard, normally on terribly steep hills facing the Rhine or Mosel river. To get up and down the slope, every German uses his or her Going Up And Down The Steep Hill Cart Thingy (GUADTSHCT - don't worry, it makes sense in German).



You see, one of the great things about this trip was that, since we lived with locals, we really learned a lot about the German culture. And then I can pass what I've learned along to you. Aren't you lucky?
