So, you think your neighbors would ausfahrt to the dealership just because of a little auspuff problem?  Gott in Himmel!  Gotta love those German words that bring out the eight year old in all of us.

Achtung baby is the extent of my German vocabulary thanks to U2. 

I learned the word achtung from that old apple ][ computer game called "Castle Wolfenstein".

I had German language classes in middle and high school and finally got to use what little I learned/remembered 30+ years later on trips to Germany where I attended birthday parties for Ferdinand Porsche.  Fortunately, he understood English better than I spoke German.  Those were the days, as they say.  Invited to the party, stop at the factory to pick up a "loaner" Porsche for a week (one time a 928, next time a 944S, another time a Boxster), and party like it was 1939.  Good memories.
