Answer
Bugatti cars are not French but they're made in Alsace, France because Ettore Bugatti was an Italian with French origins apart from that, unfortunately, there are no French sport cars but in the streets of Paris you can see lots of Porsche, Maserati, Lamborghini ... A few days ago I saw a Bugatti Veyron at avenue Victor Hugo, in Paris, I'm not really interested in cars but my fiancé is mad about them.

... There's no interest in driving a sport car in France because the speed limit in the city is 50km / h, sometimes 30 km / h ... On French highways, the maximum speed authorised is 130 km / h so what can you do with a Bugatti Veyron under such circumstances ?

Can I bring an American sports car to Italy, France, or Germany?

Dylan

My dad might be getting a job in Dubai ( I doubt it though), and my family may move to Italy, France, or Germany to be closer, and to experience another country. My mom has a 2000 Ford Mustang V6 convertible that we are thinking about bringing if we do go. She don't want to buy a car over there for the year or two he will be in Dubai. We are thinking about trading the mustang for a 1998-2002 Pontiac Trans Am though. And if we can bring it, how much would it likely be? Thanks!!! :-)

Answer
Not worth the bother or expense. With the cost of gas in the countries you listed you would NOT want an American built car there unless you are filthy rich.

In most cases you would also have to have parts for routine maintenance or repairs shipped from the U.S. Just buy a cheap European car.

If you still planning on doing this keep the Mustang. There are more Mustangs around than Pontiacs. making it easier to get parts if needed.

what is the downpayment for this car?

horseluva

Bugatti Veyron Super Sports... i have a car project to do and i would greatly appreciate it
:)

Answer
Bugatti Veyron Super Sport ($2.2 mil)
However, we might as well go all the way to the top with the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport, starting around $2.2 million. The buyer still has to come up with a $360,000 down payment, endure a rigorous back ground check, and shell out the delivery costs from France. With taxes and all the other hidden fees out of the way, you could be looking at $2.6 mil just to get it out the door. But who has that kind of money lying around, so you decide to finance it.

A five year loan with a 10% APR will cost you around $42,000 a month, practically twice the price of admission for the 16.4. On top of this, expect around $20,000 for routine maintenance, $7000 for gas, and $10,000 for auto detailing every year. Every 10,000 miles Bugatti recommends the wheels and tires should be replaced at $50,000 a set. A climate controlled, high security garage is also recommended, bringing maintenance costs up to as much as $300,000 a year.

With insurance premiums over $3,000 for the Super Sport, your final price with everything said and done would be a minimum of $3.3 million. And thatâs just for the first five years.

Are 2 doors almost always sport/sporty cars?

L

i'm not talking about trucks here..but sedans or whatever you call it. Are they almost always sports car? Are there regular cars that have only 2 doors?

Answer
The short answer is YES, mostly.
The full answer is NO, there are/were MANY 2-door cars (especially in the past) in which having two doors was a necessity, not a choice, such as the very small cars (Goggomobil), very cheap cars (Trabant).
There were even 1-door cars (BMW Isetta), opening in front only.
Today we have the Smart Car, the Toyota iQ and similar small cars where there is no room for the 3rd and 4th door.
Those are all BUT sports cars - the common feature is minimalism of weight, space and use.
Then there's the entire coupé family of cars, essentially a short-cab, two-door version of sedans, even big ones. There were popular in the past (1950s, mostly) and may enter the sports/leisure group.
In some countries you could buy just 4-door cars - the 2-doors were not even produced (France), in others there were both (Germany), with many 2-door non-sport cars (sedans, even sw's).
Most of these are situations from the past, the current trend is towards customized bodies and versions with either 2- or 4-door, the choice in the same model is becoming rare. So the industry can charge a sports model more than a 4-door one.

What sport brings in the most money and is seen by the most people in the world? I know that most people play football (soccer) but my Dad is convinced that auto racing is the #1 spectator PRO sport seen in the world.

What are some things an American can do or say that would earn him admiration and respect while in France?

Rita K

How can an American win over the French when traveling for an extended time in their country? What sort of things should he say or do to win their respect and friendship? What things in particular, do the French hold especially dear? What are the usual codes of behaviour between the sexes? What is acceptable in France and what are definite no-no's?

Answer
Generally speaking the French are more formal than most North Americans.

In everyday speech this means appending "s'il vous plâit" to any request. It means saying "je voudrais" and not "donnez moi" when ordering from a menu. It means calling the waiter "Monsieur" and not "Garçon." It means greeting the staff at a shop with "Bonjour" (madam or monsieur as appropriate) before ordering something and saying goodbye when you leave.

The French tend to follow the older practice of not calling each other by first names or using the familiar without at least some acquaintance (although this is not so much true of young people).

The easy presumption of friendship or the discussing of personal matters with relative strangers that is common in North America is sometimes seen as boorish or crude by the French.

Americans in particular who will talk about the intimate details of their love lives, the state of their personal finances, and the cost of everything they own with someone they met ten minutes ago are, for that reason, regarded as utterly outré.

On the other hand, Americans, who have been taught to never discuss politics or religion, sometimes think they are being singled out for abuse when the French express their opinions on such matters. They are not, of course. they are simply engaging in the second most popular French indoor sport (and the one that does not usually require a bed).

[As a personal observation, I have never hesitated to make my own opinion perfectly clear, even when it is one unpopular with the French. Despite the fact that I speak French with an obvious Canadian accent (I learned how to speak French in Montreal) I always correct people who identify me as a Quebecois and never hesitate to say I am an American. If people want to argue politics and/or current events I am happy to oblige. I have never met a worthwhile person who was offended by a sincerely held opinion that is supported with logic and facts. Some Americans seem to believe that they must meekly agree with every opinion expressed in France (or pretend to be Canadians.) to avoid being labeled an "Ugly American." This is, in my opinion just as bad as those halfwits who routinely mouth insulting anti-French platitudes. The French are some of the most well informed and intellectual people in the world. Match them thought for thought and you'll be respected and liked.]

When in a cafe, which often seems the center of life in Paris, recall that Cafe au lait is only called that at breakfast. At other times it is "café crème " or "une crème." If ordering the a standard tiny cup of black coffee, sound like a native by calling for "un espress."

Asking for special preparation of food items is generally frowned on as is the practice of the "doggy bag."

By law, prices must be posted in the window of cafes. You will notice that there are usually at least two price levels. One is for service at the bar (le zinc) and the other for table service. It is cheating to buy a drink at the bar and then take a table to drink it at.

Butter is served with bread only at breakfast and with the cheese course.

When you pay for something the person taking your money expects you to put it down, rather than taking it directly from your hand. Most places have a sort of tray on the counter expressly for this purpose.

When you're in a theater and have to go by someone to get to your seat always pass in front of them facing toward them, that is, away from the screen or the stage. It's very rude otherwise. Ushers in theaters, including movie theaters, should be tipped when they show you to your seat. A small coin is enough.

Although there are fewer and fewer of them with each passing year there are still public toilet facilities that have attendants. They should also be tipped.

When traveling on public transportation you'll notice little fold down seats close to the doors. These can be used until the subway car fills up. If and when it does become crowded you should stand up to make more room. You'll also notice that there are some seats which are identified as being for wounded war veterans, pregnant women etc. You may sit there but should give up your seat if someone in these categories needs it.

If you keep you eyes open, watch what others do, and bear in mind that even in the simplest things there can be differences, you'll do fine.

Have you noticed a blue smoke coming out of Kyle Busch car?

sports cars in france image

NO Saints

How can you possibly win while a blue smoke coming out of his car? Did he put something in the gas to make it go faster? That night at Richmond. Seeing a car with a blue smoke to win is disturbing, I want NASCAR to investigate!

Answer
Yea I saw that. And I believe you are right. In fact that is about the only thing I saw in that race was the blue smoke coming out of the car.

If you haven't been able to tell by now, NASCAR targets people they don't like and people they do like they give an advantage.

Look at Jeremy Mayfield. He gets caught with a false positive for a drug test and he's still not racing.

Then look at the France's family (J.C. France) who gets busted with a bag of cocaine. He gets out of the ticket on a technicality and NASCAR allows him race again.

I really hate NASCAR to be honest with you. The more I learn about the France family, the more it ruins the sport.

They (the France's) are absolutely the sorriest group of people I can say I have met.

How to market a vacation rental right outside of Paris, France?

sevbv

I am planning to buy a one bedroom, 600sqf, to turn it into a short-term lease or vacation rentals in october 2007. Since it is located outside of Paris (Sèvres) a 10 mn walk to the nearest subway station, how can I entice people to come and stay at this place. They have so many offers in Paris. What would be more interesting? I am remodeling it entirely (brand new appliances, new mattress, new floorings, paint, wiring, and everything) and will furnish with antiques, or located next to French Open, sport and event arena, Versailles, Seine banks, or since it is a ground floor and I live next door, it would be perfect for elderly people or women traveling alone? I cannot rent it for more than 300 $ a week for 4 people so the price could be a real plus. Can anyone help me write a short enticing text to hook people to stay with me since I have mortgage to pay on it? I have no experience in marketing and selling rentals by owners...Has anyone any leads? Thank you!!!

Answer
Try handing out flyers on car windows or posting at local cafes.
