American classic cars are big over there, Corvettes Mustangs, Camaros...they command double to triple the American market price depending on the model.
Have seen one Corvette so far. It was a C8. Since I saw it on Krk, it had to belong to a member of the car club. Old American muscle is seen, but that is very rare indeed.
But yeah, since none of these cars were ever "imported" here, they do drive a premium price.

Where do they put their truck nuts?

Last time I was in Prague, there was a Corvette parade
"Corvette Club Praha"
quote:
The Tradition: For over two decades, the club has hosted an annual International Corvette Meeting (Mezinárodní sraz). Traditionally, the event culminated in a massive, roaring convoy through the historic streets of Prague, passing landmarks and gathering crowds of fans.

I was in SLC in late July. I saw more hijabs in Fashion Place Mall than I do in the "Muslim" country of Bosnia. You seem to think all European countries are the same
We saw very few Muslims in Barcelona, Monte Carlo, Florence and Rome so far. Rome has had the largest percentage of non-native residents.
Regarding the comment someone made on people stepping in front of traffic, a lot of the cross walks have the pedestrian crossing painted on the street and drivers are great about honoring it for pedestrian right of way. It would take me a lot of getting use to in order to remember to look out for people crossing my path if I was driving here. I have to place myself on high alert when driving across college campuses in the US, which is about the only place I see those in the US.

It's almost like you are in another continent with different culture and priorities Not to make you sound dumb, but did you really expect to go to Italy, where some cities and roads are thousands of years old, and expect to see F-250's? Use your first experience abroad to open your eyes and appreciate what America does right, and also to see that our way isn't the only way. Travel (esp. international) is the best way to open a closed mind.
Your post is perhaps the most smug and condescending post I've read in quite a while.
Congrats.
You're the dickhead of the day!

There is nothing equivalent to shopping centers either so far
Yes there are.Many times it will be a pedestrian only street full of the same type stores as in american shopping centers.
quote:
You won’t find anything like a Home Depot, Target, Publix, Walmart, etc
Yes you will but they are outside the city center so most tourists never see them.

Explain why visiting Europe would be considered a flex in the year 2026. This is not the 1900s anymore.
As far as safety goes, it depends where the OP is. If he can speak Arabic, he may be safer overall.
I was speaking more to your safety point, and you confirmed my suspicion.

You’re retarded. You didn’t even elaborate on your Spain comment. Moreover, Europe includes many more countries than Spain.
Japan.

Europeans do DLs the right way. They actually take it seriously and not the "hey for just a few bucks, anyone can drive" way we do it. One must spend over 1000euros and take schooling before they get their DL.
As far as crosswalks in America...do not go west my man.

It's been almost 10 years since i've been over, but still have military friends who go back and forth. Your perception isn't reality for 99% of Western Europe.

I was in South Africa several years back, funniest thing I saw was a F250 barreling down the highway, Looked like a monster truck when alongside the compact cars.

Saw a Ram 1500 in Alexandria, Egypt. Caught me by surprise for sure.
