this may be the first (and only?) time in history that a russian-built *anything* was favorably compared to a german car, considering that russian builds tend to be assembled by (to all appearances) a bunch of drunks with meathooks for hands for operation and maintnance by under-educated drunks with meathooks for hands...

my dad was an engineer in a russian foundry. if he hadn't looked in the form, one of the laborers would have been a very permanent part of a particular casting... he was passed out drunk at the bottom (the laborer, not my dad).
