Somewhere inside is a big rubber band used to make it move. The French are good for pastry and wine but cars, not so much. The top 100 cars in history list very few French vehicles. Their assault rifles are infamous for breaking when dropped. Hospitality leaves much to be desired. Best known throughout history as being the losing sparring partner for the British. Monte Python's favorite target.
Pretty true but I rented a Peugeot in Kenya in the late 1960's, extremely comfortable and body fitting, 24 mpg., could burn anything you put in the tank, and the vertical wheel travel was one inch less than a Land Rover (of the time) and could go anywhere, thru mud and across rutting tracks. Plus, it was 'interesting'! As are the French.
