My parents did not buy their own car until 1987 (a '72 Lada 1200), so my first ride was in a taxi. A yellow Wartburg 353. The product of a country that seized to exist 23 years ago. That makes me feel old.

I've been in love with this one since I saw Dazed and Confused...

And its distant relatives...

The vast majority of those incidents occured due to pilot error and/or very poor maintenance standards. As for the Smolensk crash: the Russians are still blaming the crew, the Polish are still blaming ATC, and both are blaiming the thick fog. Only one thing is for sure: the plane itself was in perfect condition.

Still, it is safe, reliable and its handling is superb.

I just thought of this. It's not very spectacular, but it's funny since no one was injured, and the demo "expert" is a complete idiot.

Jessie? I guess Mike Faris is not a die hard BB fan.

And they don't put a plate number on the ticket? I find that a bit hard to believe...

The other question is: what car they should buy. Anyway, this is going to be Awesome with a capital A.

I have a 20VT Toledo, and it's a pretty decent car. The Ibiza should be fun to drive with the same 180 hp engine, but with 250 kg less weight.

NSU Ro80

It's time to scramble the Vulture Squadron!

Okay, you have the Raptor and the Viper, but we have the Dacia Sandero...

At certain ponits he's doing a pretty good Beavis and Butthead impression.

It was time YouTube started deleting videos like this. The bloody internet is making these brainless morons famous, further encouraging them to do their idiotic stunts.

Have to agree with you. Just think of it... it looks absolutely stunning and futuristic even today.  And it way launched 57 years ago! And looks aren't everyting, it's full of ahead-of-its-time, sophisticated details.

I'd say the VW New Beetle - launched a couple years before the PT Cruiser - started the retro-craze.

Agreed. Drifting is the Gangnam Style of motorsports.
