European vs US cabs
Samstag:
My cab is 24" wide, including the control panel. I guess I could hang an aircraft carrier on it to fit in, but perhaps I'm not the only American who enjoys a cab that doesn't try to do everything at once?
We do tend to have a lot more elbow room in our houses than what i typically see in Europe, so I'm sure that has a little to do with the difference.

Aaaaaaaaahmerica!
F yeah!
LOL, I couldn't resist, sorry guys :D
HAHA, FYI: I am 3rd generation German so I am 1/3 "euro" so to say & know what its like to hear my grandparents argue in a foreign language.
So I have international immunity right?
Heh, I really do like this place sometimes.

Umm... Huh? Most 1st "gens" that move to the US (while children or are here for 10+ years) end up being "just Americans"... Hell there is this British girl who moved here (the town I live in) 5 years ago, she still has UK citizenship, but now speaks in an American accent and has admitted she would feel like she were a foreigner in the UK if she went there now. If this can happen in a mere 5 years to someone BORN in another country, then how can you argue that you are "1/3 "Euro"" just because your grandparents argue in German???
Not trying to piss you off, but you are not 1/3 "Euro"... You are American, and this definition includes relatives that were born in other countries.
BTW the girl I meantioned was 13 when she moved here, so she wasnt a really little kid.

Nah, it doesn't upset me man because you are mostly right.
My father & I are Americans & we are very proud of it. But my grandfather was proud of where he came from & would always tell us stories......the beer & food was pretty good too (simple but that was just a sign of his times mind you). So remember, these things are embedded in your mind as you grow up.
Being an American is living with all cultures & never forgetting why or how your own family became American. We all take pride in both where we are & where our families came from.
I know a Russian girl who has lived here for 10+ years & trust me, she is Russian & certainly feels like it. Her daughter will sense that fact as will her granddaughter & if she lives long enough so will her great granddaughter.
After that generation however I imagine it will fade, shame really if you ask me because I find those things important.
Thats my 3 cents ;D If you leave where you are from & in just 5 years you forget..............well that speaks a lot about you.
