Except for the Arc De Triumph, that drive looks exactly like any normal Bostonian's commute to work. So my question is: how did they get the French to move the Arc to Boston?

Isn't at the way it is suppose to be? You risk everything and at the end is a hot babe with arms open. That guy was about as lucky as someone playing backgammon and needing six double sixes in a row to win.

I wonder if the sound of the engine was dubbed in though? Sometimes it seemed he was in 5th gear and should have been doing about 150 but looked like he was only going about 70. Hmmm.

Cool video. I remeber watching it in French class in Junior High. What I want to know is, WHEN is Paris traffic ever that light that you can rip through the streets like that? I mean, I saw a few close calls with peds and other traffic, but I though Paris was a traffic disaster 24/7 like Madrid/London, ect.

Oh yeah, it would have been cooler if the chick was naked at the end.
