I was in Germany for a meeting 3 or 4 years ago, and one of the Germans 
(Dutch actually, but runs a lab in Germany) told us about a visitor he 
once had from the USA. Apparently the guy was planning on renting a car 
after his plane landed, but changed his mind when he noticed, during 
landing, that the cars on the motorway parallel to the runway were 
actually overtaking his plane...
