For pure entertainment value, you can't mess with the Russians. Just when you think people can't get any stupider, somebody comes along and blows this theory clean out of the water.
Jeremy Clarkson has a good theory that might explain this. He once said that people with really boring, stupid cars should be avoided on the road. They have no passion for driving and are thus really bad at it.
Case in point: this female Nissan Note owner, who for some reason thinks she can wash her windshield using the gas pump from the station. An employee from this Russian Lukoil station quickly steps in, but not before the woman douses quite a bit of fuel on her car.
What's really annoying is the way in which she walks back to her car, casually. She's clearly oblivious to the fact that gasoline could ignite at any second. The little devil on our right shoulder wants this car to go up in flames.
Editor's note: "What about this? We all know that in sovietÿ Russia, windshields are washed with gas and cars run on water. Nothing new, move along." Top comment on the video, all true!
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.
