You have to hand it to Hollywood. While Russian and Chinese diplomats were trying to spread communism all over the world, American movies got capitalism into every house with a VCR in a far more efficient manner. Case in point: the 2015 Moscow Motor Show, which has a distinctive "Western" flavor about it.
With the Russian car market and economy currently experiencing a spiraling downward trend, the show itself isn't very impressive. However, the residents of Moscow clearly want to live the American dream, and this can be seen from the cars being displayed to what the girls are doing.
Russian website Event Post provided the internet with some rather appealing images that show the typical local beauties. However, the static shots don't tell the whole story. The following video clip shows the sort of dancing going on at this tuning show.
We've heard rumors that Go-Go dancing is now like a national sport in the region, as even the teens view it as a way to stay in shape and maybe secure a future job. However, twerking is even more popular, even spreading to the teens. Outrage was sparked recently after a school club in the town of Orenburg performed this provocative dance.
Iggy Azalea's song "Fancy" sets the mood just right for us to imagine Russian gangsters rolling around Moscow in their Cadillac de Ville convertible or old-school Chevy Camaros. Of course, Japanese motorcycles are also part of the big picture since a posse of 2-wheelers is always welcomed at such an event. Snoop Dogg would feel right at home here!
Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
