A pictures taken April 24, 2012 shows a car which accidentally drove into the stairs of the subway station Chaussee-d'Antin La Fayette, in Paris. The driver of the car entered this subway station's entrance as he thought it was the entrance of a car-park, hopefully without making any damage and causality. AFP PHOTO / BERTRAND GUAY
"If you don't have a seat at the table, you're on the menu."
I once drove around France in a British car. How I didn't end up in a similar predicament I don't know.
“If you trust in yourself, and believe in your dreams, and follow your star. . . you'll still get beaten by people who spent their time working hard and learning things and weren't so lazy.”
a few years back I was driving to my hotel in Paris with the assistance of a GPS device. It told me to exit a freeway and take a certain ramp - which led to a parking garage that I could not exit without paying a fee. Damn.
So I got back out on the highway and again exited when told by the GPS, taking a different ramp. This one was to the same [fucking] parking garage but a different level. Again, I had to pay to exit the garage. I turned off the GPS and drove a mile or so out of my way (1.6 kilometers, if you please), then turned it back on, whereupon it guided me to my hotel without further incident.
