No, never have, and, sadly, probably never will. Not in Michigan,
anyway. Too @#$%^ much traffic, too ^&* much narrow minded enforcement,
and too (*&^%$ many points already on my record. I'll never forget the
one time I got to drive with skillful, courteous, like-minded drivers
on the Autobahn. Too bad it was in a RAV 4 instead of my S4. :-(
