Getting Around and Around

  Today Mark had his first experience with the pitfalls of using the Metro to get around.  His usual 20 minute train ride to work took almost an hour due to a breakdown at the main station at the Gare du Nord.  He plans to rent a car tomorrow and drive to work.  Google Maps assures him the drive is just 20 minutes.  (And we all know Google is never wrong.)
  Mark has driven in Paris before and drove around the Arc Triomphe just for the fun of it.  I'd never drive in Paris and have no desire to, as it's so congested and the streets are narrow.  Even if I did drive there, I'd never be able to park unless I could drive straight into a spot.  I never got the geometry of parallel parking.  Judging from the looks of cars in Paris, "bump and rub x however many times" is the method you pry your car into a parking space.
  I would not want to bump and rub this Lamborghini.
