As always your entitled to your opinion but in this case  which is often
the case with your opinions your are also wrong.

However, the reason that I am asking here is because I was under the
impression that there were a lot of Germans on this list who like the
following:

1: Linux Audio
2: Multimedia hardware and related technology
3: Doing interesting things at interesting locations

The driving thing just happens to be my (apparently false) view of one of
the (probably many) things that makes a German go giddy. However it might
also be that this list is not representative of the average German as you
have rightly stated that there seems to be a lot of people driving in
Germany.

Considering that you are not German but have instead moved to Germany to
find work because you had nothing happening in your own country I would
have thought you would be more supportive of a potential job opportunity
coming via this list from another long term Linux Audio person (18 years
and counting).
