Awesome, Defined: The 10-Liter, Radial-Engined Goggomobil

"Awesome" is overused to the point of meaninglessness. Until now. We guarantee you'll be filled with some serious awe at this spectacle of unbelievable mechanical prowess. Your jaw will drop at this — the 10,220cc, radial-engined 360 HP Goggomobil.

I'm sorry, but though the car is really funny  the builder seems to be a obstinate nazi! >:(
There's lots of racist rubbish written on his web site and you hear the (forbidden) first verse of the German national hymn while entering one of the linked pages...
I've taken a closer look at his home-and related pages and it's pretty shaming...

And no, it's definetely not satire!  :(

You couldn't know it!  ;) It's hardly to understand if it's not your mother tongue.

I watched the video to see the Goggo running and I coudn't believe my ears. The sound of the star engine and than: "Deutschland über alles..."

Shame on him!  >:(

It' a very subtle and rhetorically cleverly written article. Take a look in the guestbook, look at the subjects. (link top left corner!) http://www.deutsche-werke.de/goggo2.htm
Watch the movie listen to the "song". Of course they don't use explicit wording, but just stir up hatred.
