"The Russians Make The Best Truck In The Universe For $50K"
I bet author have not ever owned Russian car.
- kafkaesq 11y agoI bet you've never gone up against a T-34.
- juskrey 11y agoYou mean against T-34 with a technical platoon? Because it requires engine service every 500 km (like pretty every other tank).
- toomanybeersies 11y agoI've known a few people who've owned older Lada Nivas (aka VAZ-2121), New Zealand traded milk powder for Ladas for a while in the 80's. The engine is horrible, and the interior is what you'd expect, but they are built like a brick shithouse. You can literally barrel roll one down a hill and it will be fine. They're probably resistant to light small arms fire too.

- dzhiurgis 11y agoMy father remembers Moskvich. It was supposed to be car with increased ground clearance, but distributor was placed that puddle over 5cm would flood it. Apparently you could see drivers drying them out occasionally (yes, you had to know how to take it apart)! All I could remember was him adding gas directly into carburettor during cold mornings. Getting 10 year old rusted Opel after that was like living in future. We finally felt europeans.
