The number of weird or classic cars is really small here in Hawaii. That being said, I have seen the occasional oddballs.

I saw a Ssanyong Rexton, a weird SUV I recognized from growing up in India, parked casually outside a dorm in my Indiana college. It had MI manufacturer plates on it, and what’s weird is that it was RHD with MPH speedometer increments.

Back in 1986 I was in West Germany with a group of students from my high school.  At one point we rented a van and drove from Dusseldorf to Hamburg for the “touring” portion of our trip (it was part of a student exchange program) and somewhere on the autobahn we were passed by a late-’70s Trans Am.

There’s an old dude who drive some green metallic American land yacht in the centre of Amsterdam on sunny days. He bkares loud country music with open top and wears a cowboy hat. That to me is the most out of place car ever. One day I will run into him driving my Pao, and I too will open my roof to play loud k-pop.

$60K for an unregisterable illegal in the US car is certainly something.  

I’ve been to the Netherlands several times since my wife is from there. I once went to an “American” car show, which was just on the square where her parents live. To see mundane cars from the US like Cavaliers, big vans, and other things we call crap done up like they were something special just made me appreciate

I suppose the could not update the name and update their advertising using  their own In a Lada vaNida” baby...

I would expect as good as the 1990s jimny. However, Lada is making improvements wherever possible apparently.
Here’s a report of an older crash test:

I’d buy one, ...maybe I should try to start a Lada import business in Wisconsin.

Here in Germany I see them used as snow plows mostly. Like Jimnies. Unlike Jimnies, they are typically not used as commuters. Too crude, too utilitarian and I guess the fuel consumption is not helpful either.

It looks a bit like a ’90s Kia inside. - having owned a 90s Kia, this looks far better than anything Kia put together in the 90s.

That’s nada lada changes.

I’m not a horror fan so I wasn’t really interested in PT or Silent Hills, but this just reminds me of how much Konami needs to go fuck itself.

This article isn’t light on details.

Seriously?  Give me a break.

Whenever I’m doing long term leisure: “I hate this, I wish I was at home watching tv or playing a video game.”

...never use a debit card.  Good advice in all situations.

I played the 360 version, only ever got about halfway through, but by the jesus is it satisfying walking out of your apartment and immediately tossing the person in the hallway off the balcony

It was a badge engineered Mazda. I suppose you could call it grille-engineered, because it got a different nose to make it look more like the F-series of the time. GM was selling Isuzus, and Chrysler was selling Mitsubishis.
