You'd be surprised to know how little most Americans know about outside world. Maybe - a little about Canada (in form of Molson/Moose/Labatt Blue) and Mexico (Corona), but most couldn't care less. Europe is no different than Mars or Jupiter.

From a car owner standpoint, the US is a mixture of heaven (low prices on cars and gasoline and relatively low taxes; powerful engines compared to other coutries) and hell (ridiculously low speed limits, awful drivers' skills and manners).

Cheers,

Vadim.
