I'm curious...maybe I missed it in the article, but how do you suppose the car continued to go at such a high speed without the man's foot on the pedal? Was the car on a hill or something? My automobile will continue forward unless I put on the brake, but at a much slower speed. Anyone? He must have been strong to haul himself up on the roof and STAND? up on it while it was moving.

I don't know about those new-fangled Merceded Benz cars, but my little Toyota has this thingey called "cruise control." Must be something Japanese. I guess they don't have those in Germany.

sorry, I couldn't resist that...
