Do the French people have ridiculous French accents and perfect English grammar?

Mostly french, one person speaks some English...no figure.

There is one hell of a fight seen that you will love.

A 1984 S10. It's supposed to get 25 city/36 highway. We'll "fill" it up again and see if anything changed. We were running pretty rich as well. Might have be a combo between the spark plug not getting it's spark and the carb being a little too rich. We'll see. Is the Jetta diesel?

If you run into a dead end, one of my good friends is a Chrysler tech, I could get an opinion if you need it later on.

But no, my jetts is a 1.8t 4 cyl. Its pretty good on gas compared to my dodge. I bought it because I was traveling for work and gas was killing me.

Which is exactly why I still drive my 20 year old Ford Escort. Man that thing gets great mileage

I see. My truck is a 4-speed manual so I'm having fun learning how to not hop and stall the truck around. Almost got it all the way into the garage before I hit the brakes without remembering to hit the clutch first.

Going from nice and smooth to WHAM RATTLE WHAM RATTLE WHAM RATTLE RUUUH

Wait until you get used to it and then try to drive an automatic. Mine's a 5-speed and every time I drive my other half's car I end up trying to kick a hole in the floor looking for the clutch

Haha. I have 9mpg in my ran or around 25mpg in my jetta

So I usually stick to my jetta.

Driving an automatic ruined me, now I have to get clutch then brake ingrained in my mind.

Sounds like my Bronco! I used to have a Ram...I do miss it but the mileage was just nasty.

You'll get used to it. Then you'll feel stupid when you try to shift gears in an automatic. I still do it all the time

 

[drysdaleg]

Is it taking part in France?

Ya, honestly all the French stuff you encounter is the people you help. Its a no means french pride kinda movie.

I almost bought a Bronco II. Love the way Broncos look. Hate their mpg.

 

[RedneckReject]

I hear a car in my driveway!!!

Yeah mine's a beast. It pretty much sits in the driveway as a "backup" vehicle

Think fast it's an intruder what's the closest weapon to you? Gotta always expect that kind of stuff.

I figured.They didn't make much movies where they show the French Resistance or people helping the US Paratroopers who fell into their yard.

There are like 3 within arms length of me. And it's not an intruder. It's the person I've been waiting on to finally get home!!! Besides, my dog knows the sound of all of our vehicles. He lets me know if a different car pulls up.
