The French for some reason overall aren't too happy with Americans...though if it weren't for use they'd be speaking German. I think it's the attitude of tourists though, expecting American Dollars to be taken and English to be spoken. When I was in europe, if you made an effort to stammer by in whatever language the country you wer visiting was, you'd get met with an entirely different reaction than if you go around all day "do you speak english"? I speak English and German, but when we visited Italy I didn't speak a word of it until I went there...learned a few of the important ones and then it was all good.
Multi-culturalism in Europe is second-hand...unlike here. How do most Americans react when someone comes up to you and in a heavy accent goes "do you speak (french/german/italian, language other than English)? We wrinkle our noses and shun away... But if someone who is quite obviously not from the area attempts to speak English I think we are more accomodating to that person.
Maybe the above is because Seattle is a spot where there are a lot of tourists...but that's just how I see things.

Yes I agree with this. I have taken 3 years of French and know quite a bit about their culture. The French really do think they know of the best ways to do anything and everything including food, fashion and style in general. However like you said, if you make an effort and they are still an ***? Then they are simply unhappy with life. Its a beautiful country and culture and I wish to travel there one day......there and thailand and no not JUST for the prostitutes that are likely little boys

Clown brought a part from our ebay store, only because I was too lazy to go digging in that infinite bottomless pit of door harnesses.
We have like 3 boxes of door harnesses, impossible to find one when you need it... God-speed ebay department... God-speed....

THIS! Vancouver BC is an awesome place. I'd recommend 2 things in particular: Visit the market at Granville Island. It's better even than Pike Place in Seattle. Second, go to Fritz's European Fry House on Davie Street for some Poutine. It's the best poutine outside of Quebec.

What model Audi is this? The only transverse mounted engines in an Audi is the TT and the A3. Either this is photoshopped or if it's legit, i've never seen anything like that, because of how far forward the engine is mounted, and i'd like to know what transmission was used, too.

Are you hiding dope plants? Open the blinds to take a photo, you knucklehead. It's much easier. To play devil's advocate(who, me?), a typical one family home has a designated backyard with either a fence or the ability to put in a fence that will contain the dog. A lot more work has to be done to let the dog play with a shared yard. Especially, with a breed having the territorial nature similar to a Cane. I go out and play fetch with my dog at least twice a day. I walk her at least a mile a day. I try to take her to a park at least twice a week. Even with all that, if I couldn't open the door and let her be free several times a day without having to chaperone her, she would detonate into a fiery mushroom cloud taking half the state with her.
