I was recently on leave in Paris and walking by the Arc de Triomphe, along FLYS this black vette. In Paris!? I want to say it was a C6 but I was fumbling with my camera to try to snap a photo but completly missed it. On the front fender it had red vinyl victory tallies, like olf fighter planes, with a few ferrari horses and lambo bulls, etc. Anyone know who this is?

When I was in Paris back about 1973 I saw a Laverda 750 twin. I saw another in Daytona during Bike Week. I also happened to own one. Pretty rare bike apparently. And yes, driving in Paris is to say the least interesting, I had to go around 3-4 times to get the right street, all while moving in and out of traffic in the circle. It was very nerve racking to say the least!

There's no way I'd drive a car I care about near the Arc de Triomphe .

This! That thing is crazy, I stood and watched people drive perpendicular to traffic and everything.

I can't remember the exact number, but there is something like 13 streets feeding into that thing.

I've been to the Arc and traffic didn't seem that crazy to me. There are two big streets that feed into it, Champ de élysées, and ave La Gran Armée which have clearly defined lines as do the little streets that feed into as well. The round about is like any other round about.

I saw several very nice and 'exotic' cars much nicer than corvettes going through there with no problem. :shrug:

My wife and I honeymooned in Paris. The number of smart cars is amazing. We drunkenly counted them on our way back to our hotel from dinner on the Champs.

When I went to London I went to a Cadillac/Chevrolet Dealer and they had a Ron Fellows edition C6 Z06. Thing was nasty.
