U.S. cars come direct from the factory at prices far below Stateside and gasoline is pumped into the tank at 14? a gallon. Vacation? If bored with the local 18-hole golf course (family membership: $40 a year), try a pleasant few days skiing at Garmisch or Berchtesgaden, where a private room-and-bath is priced at $1.25 a night. Instruction and equipment for nearly any sport costs...
