Thanks for the video! I was surprised at the number of American vehicles; I've heard that larger vehicles are subject to additional fees and taxes there. Do you see many in daily use?

Yes, there is a heavy tax to pay when you import an american car. But it's a once only fee.
After which, it's just the fuel costs..!
And no, not many of these cars are daily driven. Maybe the newer Mustangs? And the new Alpine. But the others only come out for the meetings, like I do.
For the last 20 or so years, the (classic) american cars have gained popularity here in France. I don't really know why? Maybe easier to maintain than a british or an italien classic?

I have many customers in Europe with American cars.

They like em because they are affordable, easy to make faster and they are loud and different.

It is a growing trend.

Astronomy says we will find a coded signal from outer space. Then we'll KNOW that life exists there, for coded signals aren't by chance.

Biology says there are coded genetic signals in every cell, but we KNOW that no intelligence created life.

I'm the original owner of a white ' 84 2M4 purchased Dec 10, 1983 from Pontiac. Always garaged, no rust, 3800SC, 4-wheel drifts are fun!
