Road trip to the Baltic Sea!

I met the friend I was visiting in Berlin in Brisbane Australia earlier in the year (before we both headed out on a surf trip to Sydney). Other German friends that we both knew were getting together in Kiel, in the North-West so we decided to take a road trip for a visit. By Canadian standards this 3 1/2 to 4 hour journey is a short trip down the highway but here in Deutschland it's apparently far.

It is on this day that I would venture bravely onto the German Autobahn. The high-speed motorway renowned for having (in most places) no speed limit... in what vehicle dare I whisk speedily over paved accelerating freedom? Perhaps a German engineered high-performance auto mobile such as a BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Volkswagen or Audi? Or, I could do so in a Ford Fiesta!
