Nowadays, we have carbon fiber interiors, satellite navigation, air conditioning, parking sensors, adjustable steering wheel and iPod connectors, all having to fit within the interior of car car, which also has to be really safe.

But what if you could treat the dashboard like it was a piece of furniture. One man in what we believe to be the Ukraine (not Russia). The whole thing is made from one piece of wood, carved with flowers, a squirrel and an owl. The steering wheel is also made from wood, except the Lada logo.

Everything has been placed in the center console - TV set, radio, rear view camera and climate control. All that work for a beat-up old Lada Sputnik!

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.
