The car I was driving was either a
1967 Pontiac Firebird with a 4 speed
manual transmission and a 400 cubic
inch engine or a 1969 Camaro with
a Turbo 400 three speed automatic
transmission, a 396 cubic inch
engine, and a 2.56 rear axle ratio.

Sorry about the area of Germany -- I was
drawing just from memory from a remark in some
history video. I should have looked
up the area.
I should also add detail to the welfare
economics cost/benefit analysis of the
Baltimore subway system: The analysis
counted the construction cost as $0.
The only costs considered were the
direct marginal operating costs and the on-going
maintenance costs. Still the cost/benefit
analysis failed. Net, in the US it is just super
tough to make passenger trains pay.
