Want proof that you don't mess with the Russians? How about this: what America doesn't deserve, the Russians easily get.
We're talking about the modern day equivalent of the Chevy El Camino, the Holden Maloo. It might not be as useful as a Ford Transit, but the V8 monster is a whole lot sexier. America was basically denied access to the ute, but the Russians have one, an older model but one that still grabs your attention.

We're exaggerating a bit, but we never thought w've ever see a Holden HSV Maloo R8 in Russia of all places. They have GAZ, VAZ, ZAZ and whatever other combination of consonants, but an Australian muscle ute? That's special.

They say the ute was designed to take the pigs to market on Saturday and the misses to church on Sunday. We don't know about the misses, but the pig is sure going to appreciate the blue-green chameleon wrap.

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.
