At one intersection where there was a car not too far away (but still passable in my mind), my French colleague stopped me just as I was about to cross and said, "Better to lose two minutes than two legs." Point taken.

It surely caught my attention...
"I drove it to Paris right after I bought it and didn't have any problems except for getting lost in the maze of one-way streets there... ended up at the Arch de Triumphs driving around in circles with 100 other crazy french drivers trying to figure out which of the 7 side streets to get off at. Finally found the Eiffel tower and parked the Pilot there and took a tour bus from there to see the rest of the city. A nerve racking experience to say the least, but hey I can say I driven in Paris now. I'll never forget that experience nor the sight of 20 cars trying to squeeze onto a 2-lane road all honking their horns continuosly."
