Hey Dani,

Those in the know about FTV are not surprised that many of its frauleins are into what a Volkswagen ad campaign in the 90s made famous in America, Fahrvergnuegen ("driving pleasure"). It is natural that having spent many early years in Germany, you also often find life behind the wheel to be a special experience!

Those who didn't see your video log episode here explaining your love of the road can instead listen to a brief relevant audio extract by unzipping and playing the mp3 file here.

Guess what? It turns out you are hardly the only girl to, in your own words, "get such a kick" out of driving over speed bumps to music. Since you have now come of age (and are even buying your own health insurance) we are allowed to have my friends Garfunkel and Oates explain it to you with their original song, Go Kart Racing, here, (almost correctly) captioned by a fan so that you can sing along!

P.S. Now I know why partner-free masturbation is often called an autoerotic experience.

P.P.S. Did you ever see how your (former?) FTV colleague Violet drives a stick-shift vehicle? It's something one will never forget...
