Does your car have "French" on it?
Filling up my car, I noticed writing around the gas lid. English says to use unleaded. Is that French I see saying maybe the same thing? I hope not!

Don't worry. It's for the Canadians who happen to speak French -- not the same thing as you're concerned about.

Not my Vette, but my truck had a lot of French on it when I took it through a barnyard. It washed off.

Only if you have a Corvette originally exported to Canada: "Essence Sans Plomb Seulement." We have bilingual labelling in Canada.

Yo (not to be confused with Yao, like in Yao Ming :lol: ). Does that mean my car was to be exported to Canada?

Sometimes cars that were originally sold in Canada found there way back to the U.S. When I was looking, I found a car with a 240 kph speedo and other telltales that indicated it was a Canadian-market car.
How high does your speedo go?

Well, I did hit some frogs last season. Does that count? My mother-in-law is French-Canadian, so I guess I am really screwed.
Actually, last year I took my mother-in-law out in the 'vette. When we stopped at a light, the people next to us were looking over at us, My mother-in-law says " You know why there looking at us? 'Cause when you drive a car like this your suppose to have a hot young bimbo in the car with you, not your mother-in-law, now lets go home and get your wife" :rofl: :lolg: :lol: Ya thats my mother-in-law. Very french Canadian.
