By next June I will be on my way to Ramstein Air Base in Germany. My questions to you guys are:

Should I take my Jeep or my car?

What is it like over there?

And to anybody stationed at Ramstein how is the base?

Any other useful info will be appreciated as well.

Thanks for your time.

Take it if uncle is paying, sell it when you start to come back and pickup one of the MB's or Saabs they offer thru the exchange for US importing then sell that after you get back. I know an AF capt that did this, took his Vette over, sold it for $20,000 more than he paid for it, bought a saab turbo for a quarter of the price they were here in the US, got it back, drove it for a month and sold it, again making $40K profit, I think he paid like $15K for it new. Took his profits and bought 200 acres for his retirement somewhere in greensboro NC area that he sold a couple of years later thats now an office park, made a fortune on that too.
Yea, he took the long view.

I haven't been there since '93 so I doubt I'm of much help to you.
