Yeah, you’re right. The Russkies couldn’t even make a decent car.
To: max americana
Maybe sometime in the future when all those countries that are doing war are nonexistent and the market goes POOF for Russian arms maybe they will make a decent car.

Maybe...or even a decent toaster.

It’s OK. Ron Paul assured me that Iran has no military or interest in war with anyone.

This might be the old Soviet stuff waiting on the docks since the sanctions came down on Saddam. I remember reading that some of the T-72s in the first Gulf conflict had defective armor around their fuel tanks which made them even more vulnerable.
