Russian Lada Low-Riders on a Very Tight and Bumpy Budget

You may or may not be surprised to learn that there are fans of low-riders in mother Russia – just not with the kind of vehicles most of us have associated this car-culture.

Lada Saloon Slips on Ice and Takes a Turn for the Worse…

Obviously travelling faster than what he should have in these conditions, the driver stepped on ice and lost control of the car that crossed over the road slamming into the metal guardrails before it tumbled and landed on its top.
