Vanity: France Burned Car Count

various ^ | November 6, 2005 | precedence

[precedence]

Since Rush mentioned a burned car count today, I gathered together some sources online, and compiled this site. I will do my best to keep the page updated until the rioting ceases. If you have more information or better numbers, let me know.

Burned Car Count

[Izzy Dunne]

Any news on the makes / models of the burned cars?

Just curious as to the most-burnt numbers - I might be in the market next year...

[theDentist]

Burnt out cars? Maybe we should have a target or goal instead?

[Red Badger]

Can we keep count like the MSM does of our military's body count?............Are we nearing a cardinal number yet?.......

[martin_fierro]

Ping

[emiller]

Wait a minute. These guys without cars are goign to have to walk now, right? You know what they means- they'll be even stinkier.

Phewwwwwwww

[San Jacinto]

Just remeber in keeping the count--Peugeot's only count 1/2 and Fiat's don't count at all.

[areafiftyone]

Overnight Sunday-Monday, vandals burned more than 1,400 vehicles in France, as well as churches, schools and businesses. Clashes around the country left 36 police officers injured, National Police Chief Michel Gaudin said. Attacks were reported in 274 towns, and police made 395 arrests.

AND THIS IS JUST SUNDAY-MONDAY!

[gitmo]

I wonder if ELF or Greenpeace is behind this after all.

[Doogle]

...sorta makes the newest "Le Rust Bucket" (pronounced bouquet)I mean Le Car vulnerable..??...good they won't make it to the states.

[Army Air Corps]

What about Citroens? ;-)

Have any cafe racers been torched?

[ZGuy]

How do you differentiate between the cars burned in the riots and those that normally go up in flames on a day to day basis?

[b4its2late]

Good idea. Now we need some milestones so we can toast. Maybe a beer for every car?

[inpajamas]

remember, 2000 is a milestone. /s

[A message]

Doesn't anybody get it?

This is all being orchestrated by " Big Auto" to sell more vehicles.

We can probably track this back to the offices of Renault, Daimler Chrysler, etc.

/Sarcasm off

Thanks for the count precedence.

[Army Air Corps]

"Maybe a beer for every car?"

Why not shots of whiskey or sake? That way, we can feel as disoriented as the French policiticians...

[TXBSAFH]

IT IS BUSH"S FAULT!!!

If he only would not have invaded Iraq and freed those people. THe flow of illegal oil fo palaces money would not have stop. If it had not stopped then their would be more welfare money to keep the islamic scumm happy for a while longer. See It's Bush's fault!!!

[b4its2late]

I send Rush the link through his super secret email (24/7) and credit you.... LOL

[Fresh Wind]

I wonder if a prominent MSM news anchor will read off the license plate numbers of the burnt out cars on the evening news program?

[AmericaUnited]

We Louisiana officials to give 'official' figures.

It will be like McDonalds... millions and millions burned...

[U S Army EOD]

Are you going to break this down to military burnt out cars, police burnt out cars, civilian burnt out cars, non-combatant burnt out cars that were caught in crossfires, and the occassional LeCar that caught on fire all by itself because it was a piece of junk?

Will SUV's be reported on this thread or another one?

Will this information be reported to Kerry and Kennedy and not only to Bush who may or may not be accused of lying about the number of cars or if they existed at all?

Will any cars be tortured?

[AmericaUnited]

We Louisiana = We NEED Louisiana

[backhoe]

Excellent, and thank you. Crosslinked:

Is Paris Burning? ( Religion of Peace® Alert )
Click the picture:

[loreldan]

Great! Now we just need a former car owner (Cindy Sheehan) to come out and protest against Chirac for provoking these riots.

[lainie]

Last night on the Drudge thread, JWojack shared the estimate of 4,100 vehicles so far.

[knarf]

That is hugh !

[AmericaUnited]

This is not a laughing matter.

"Let them eat burnt cake" LOL!!!

[knarf]

Tres hugh !!

[Bon mots]

[U S Army EOD]

Greenpeace is trying to duck this one because someone has suggested they be the ones to write the enviromental impact statement. Remember your history, Greenpeace is at war with the French Navy. To jog your memory on that, France won its only naval victory in two hundred years in a sea battle in New Zealand over Greenpeace.

[NewMediaFan]

On the plus side, traffic congestion has eased quite noticeably around Paris.

[U S Army EOD]

Be careful what you wish for, there may not be that much beer.

[b4its2late]

I sent Rush the link to your count site and the link to this thread.

[b4its2late]

True. Then we'll switch to wine.....

[TX Bluebonnet]

Yeah, and they burned about 25 city buses in a row, not to mention the ones they highjacked that were in use. Maybe next they'll flog their own feet.

[14erClimb]

You might want to change the source on November 4th from "Bangcock" to "Bangkok".

[gitmo]

The French navy defeated the Greenpeace boats? I'm amazed.

(I do recall that the US's first battle after declaring war on Nazi Germany was to destroy the French navy.)

[Red Badger]

Fiat's Italian, They count more than a Citroen!......

[U S Army EOD]

But the smoke is much worse.

[SlowBoat407]

I was wondering why this seemed so strangely familiar to me, then I remembered: Jean Luc Godard's "Weekend"! Despite his politics, he was strangely prescient on this one.

[LesbianThespianGymnasticMidget]

Don't forget the buses. Saw a pic of 28 city buses in a row burnt out....

[b4its2late]

You might want to change the source on November 4th from "Bangcock" to "Bangkok".

LOL. I didn't even notice that .. LOL... Whoops.

[RoseofTexas]

Churches too? I bet you none were Mosques!

[SlowBoat407]

So if smoke from the burning french cars keeps mosquitos away, can we call it "Citroen-ella"?

[soccer_maniac]

I wonder how these numbers are accumulated.

French secrect service (what an oxymoron) must be compiling data furiously.

Buses should count for 5 cars :)

[U S Army EOD]

You don't remember the sinking of the Rainbow Warrior with all hands on board at the time in Wellington Harbor?

[U S Army EOD]

I have already switched to wine and am sitting back watching Paris burn.

[b4its2late]

I'll toast you later tonight. Thank you for your service!

[U S Army EOD]

Please, so of us take this very serious.

[gitmo]

Oh yeah! France's finest hour, indeed.
