I am from Russia too, but our cars are really crap.

Russian cars are just like their most famous gun, AK-47. They're simple, rugged, loud, uncomfortable...but damn..there will never come a day when they won't work. Sure there will be days when they won't start, or won't open...but eventually they will get going again.

No...you are the idiot. He means that the shape of the word when it is written in Russian is similar to how "KAPUT" is shaped when spelled in English. He does not mean the actual Russian translation of it.

Does anyone know the instrumental music played during when the narrator says "It's a fact that people behind the Iron Curtain never set their sights too high..."

Siempre se burlan de los autos rusos...pero nunca vi una burla sobre el lada samara

Lo usan como puntapie, pero al final del dia... no pueden discutir que ESE fue un buen auto :)

@TheTruemouse I think the tank has better fuel economy, it is surprise how much fuel ladas could have spent considering engine capacity

[TheTruemouse]

@TheKenjoje Absolutely, it can drive faster than a tank and it probably has slightly better fuel economy.
