Actually, the aircraft is a decomissioned one, and was on display in the city centre of Besztercebánya (Banská Bystrica) in front of a shopping mall, advertising SIAF held at Sliač (not Silač) Air Base.

Be absolutely self-critical. Don't think that you're a race driver two days after you've received your license.

"I would have gotten away with it, too, if it hadn't been for you meddling commenters!"

Replacement of the timing belt. If something goes wrong the result might easily cost a lot of money. If you have your belt replaced by pros, they will provide some warranty.

Prius (or any similar hybrid/econobox).

I remember how my parents waited for their Skoda 120. Then they were notified that the Czechslovakians stopped production of the 120. Instead, they had a couple options, and they chose the Wartburg 1.3 - a pretty decent car for the eastern bloc with its VW Golf engine.

In addition to the obvious (when to have fluids, belts, etc. changed):

Citroen Xsara Picasso

Tatra 613. Known as probably the best car of the socialist bloc, everyone remembers the 603. But its not-so-stylish successor is quite unknown.

Volvo S60R

David Purley

Agreed.

Renault Safrane Biturbo V6. An odd, huge, unreliable machine... but fast.

I just hope when he screws up, he crashes into some oligarch's black SUV...

Funny thing is, a gallon of regular gas costs aprrox. 7.4 USD where I live, with average wages around 550 USD/month. Not trying to make any ponint, just sayin'. I guess I should be super skinny by now.

I don't know about the US, but here in Europe, it is the Corolla AE86. It's impossible to find a decent one. If an AE86 pops up on one of the car classifieds sites, it's either a piece junk beaten up by the previous owners, and has probably been crashed a dozen times, or one that the owner tried to modify for drifting…

11490? Holy crap, that's (not just) a bit pricey.

Lake Balaton... Nobody canna cross it.

The Deux chevaux and the ID/DS are the obvious choice. However, the 205 GTi deserves to be on the list as a symbol of the French hot hatch.

Lamborghini Espada. Note the young Gábor "Nino Karotta" Bazsó a.k.a. Hungarian Wolverine on the picture. :)
