i will be keeping an eye on this throughout the evening.
it could go one of two ways:
1: arguments about completely unrelated politics about healthcare reform or the CARS program
2: A lot of jokes.

My Ride: I have an 05 545i. It's a manual with a few options. This is my first BMW but I don't know how I'll ever be able to switch to something else.
The french think that her 'burquini' will get: street dirt, sweat, and/or viruses in the pool water. Thus, they mandate that you were body-hugging clothing for swimming.
Don't they sanitize the pools to help counteract the "viruses" or are there super viruses in france that no one knows about?
I think they want everyone at french pools to dress like this
