I went there without knowing that the car was there. My jaw dropped to the floor I entered the room and saw it.

The model ov Viribus Unitis was cool as hell also. Great museum.

Yes, awesome model.

I also liked how it takes you through the war, ending  with the armistice and reflecting on all the horrors, and then you turn the corner and see the car again.

Just got back from a trip to Vienna and Budapest. Visited the military museum to see Franz Ferdinand's car, totally blown away by how awesome that place is. Possibly best military museum I've ever been to. :mmm:

Also, the newly reopened Kunstkammer :wub:

I felt really sick. Thought I was going to throw up. Totally unprepared.

Do you ever have a small, normal reaction to anything? :unsure:

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

Another unexpected surprise was at the Neue Burg, the custom made suits of armor worn by Alessandro Farnese, Philip II and the Austrian emperors.
It overshadowed the real reason of my visit, the Ephesos museum. That place really needs an update.

Besides, it's just an old car with bullet holes on it.

Spellus, did you faint when seeing the Eutropius statue at the Kunsthistorisches?  :P
