France's Interior Ministry has reported that over one thousand cars were set ablaze across France this past New Year's Eve, in what has become a Gallic tradition of sorts. In all, 1,137 vehicles were torched, just 10 shy of the record of 1,147 set just last year.
As the Reuters story notes, car burnings have become commonplace in the poorer suburbs of France's large cities. I wonder if these poor suburbs might be located near the impoverished neighborhoods where misguided Muslim youth rioted and set fire to scores of cars back in 2005? Naaaaah.
Vive la difference!

Yeah but they mostly burned French cars. I think the world can live without those little katydid looking, flimsy bug eyed things. You don't drive 'em you wear 'em.
Katydid. Ha!
