I think "Rennsport" is the German term for autosport or motorsport....

OR maybe the whole thing is based on the show Renn and Stimpy...

renn = run
rennen = running or racing

rennenkauf (shameless plug) = racing buy

Guten Tag meinen Damen und Herren!

German, to run or race... in conjugated verb sense, auf Deutsch:

(ich) renne
(du) rennst
(er,sie, es) rennt
(wir) rennen
(ihr) rennt
(sie) rennen

Verstehen Sie?

Spater...

75ohm.

Und fahren = to drive.

Fahren Sie schnell oder langsam?

Ich bin der Rennmeister!

Sprecken the douche? Gotta love that phrase...

I used http://dict.tu-chemnitz.de when I was taking German.

I think "renn" means race, and "laufen" mean "to run"... but it's been a while. I just stick to American nowadays.

And Greek when doing physics.
