There's an astronaut joke that says the US spent millions to develop a pen that works in 0 gravity while the Russian simply gave their cosmonauts pencils. While we're not sure that's true, they do like to make things simple, blunt at very efficient.
Take this railway crossing barrier for example. To make sure cars really do stop, the crazy Russians installed big metal barriers that rise up from the ground, like those thrust deflectors on an aircraft carrier. It's so strong that it will stop the biggest and heaviest BMW of all time, the long wheelbase 760i.
Honestly, we can't find a way to explain how such a stupid driver owns an expensive car like this. Does he even have a license?
Right after his stupid crash, a huge mob forms around the Bimmer as they try to pull it out using an excavator.
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.
