Last month, we told about the story of a Russian town called Samara. As the ground started to melt in spring, it swallowed up cars and even larger vehicles like they were nothing.
English Russia recently published photos of yet another incident which happened there. A water pipe burst and the asphalt over it caved in, taking a Lada Calina.The hole quickly filled up with water, making this car a likely write-off.

What's amazing about these photos is that they show the unnatural phenomenon took place in front of a large apartment building. Damaging a car is definitely not as important as a crippled building!

"We have already shown you what is happening on the roads of Samara. Here’s another accident from there: one of the pipes burst and the water flowed past the houses and then down. The result was a huge hole that appeared near one of the the dwelling houses. Unfortunately for the owner of this Lada Calina – his car was trapped in the hole," English Russia reports.

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.
