    I've already driven a Volga, the Siber. It was the loaner they gave me during my 60k servce. Mine had Chrysler Sebring badges on it, though.

    Holy panel gaps, that was awesome.

    But you had me at 'flying Volga'.

    When it's released in the US they should title it 'Flying Dragon, Hidden Volga'. #russiancars

    Today is a special day. How could it not be? Any day where the 911 GT2 is bumped off your list of cars to own before you die and is then replaced by a Volga sedan, well any day like that must be a wonderful day. #russiancars

    The budget is too big for this. I'd rather see them make it with 39 rubles, some Krazy Glue and a McDonald's sandwich. #russiancars

    The most jalopnik movie I could imagine would be about building $500 flying V8 powered Volvo station wagons, driving them through a rally course where you have reprogram construction signs every stage, points given out for spelling, grammar and humour. The protagonists would be resurrected Paul Newman and Steve McQueen playing themselves; the villain would be Ray Wert, the dark helmeted foe who plies judges with mislabelled bourbon and does unspeakable things to tailpipes.

    @BigHarv: On his journey to Alameda (home of the best Brefas Scotch in all of Orange County), Newman (playing a grizzled Polish-American veteran named Kowalski) finds a treasure trove of Project Car Hell Mustangs in Puerto Rico, witnesses a drag race between a DAF and a FAF, stops a pair of dragons from going to town on a rusty 'Cuda (it was for their own good), snogs a naked girl on a Honda motorcycle, punches SLR Dude in the face, and puts up with bad cotomer servis in order to get close to the dreamy Murilee. #russiancars

    @bzr: Our heroes then venture to abandoned, post-zombie apocalypse Detroit. There they flee attacking helicopters by hiding in smoke-not from their burnouts, but from the last remaining bottle of Lucas wire smoke they discovered in Murilee's garage. Through the haze they spot a beautiful hindquarters...visions of Wes lead them across the border in Windsor... #russiancars

    So let's see here... according to this link:

    [www.bornrich.org]

    the RussoBaltique vodka is a million Euros, or $1.48M at the current exchange rate. Three bottles of that would therefore be $4.44M, which means that at a total package cost of $1.5M, they are effectively paying you $2.94M to take the car. Yeah, that sounds about right, but I'm still gonna say crackpipe.
