Got CHKIBRKI as my vanity plate.

Everyone making her fully slav'd out with their Adidas stripes and hardbass speaker, but I'm here with my Hongkongese taxi cab ('95 Toyota Crown Comfort - Karin Asterope Amenity, perhaps?).

It's a shame they don't have a square headlight option like the VAZ-2105 tbh

Too bad this topic has so few pages. I love this car. I don't post a picture of mine because I play with low graphics.

I want to assume that this was a promotional photo for an export market because there is no way the USSR would allow something western like Ritz crackers to appear in a domestic ad. 

 

This obviously an export picture, I didn't notice the steering wheel was on the wrong side of the car. Still it's odd that a (then) Soviet state owned company would allow that very visible Ritz box (with the label facing even) to be with one of their cars. 

 

Yes I know this is a reply to an old post but no one else has noticed that very out of place box.

The Eastern bloc countries had stores selling imported and luxury goods in exchange for foreign currencies, for example from tourists or relatives of citizens working abroad. I'm not sure if Ritz crackers were sold there, I doubt it, but the point is that the authorities weren't opposed to foreign brands if they could benefit from it, and the state always sought to acquire foreign capital whenever possible. Certainly Western consumer goods were popular among the higher status citizens and anyone else who could get them through the black market, because of the severe lack of several categories of consumer goods in the domestic economy. Not crackers though, and it's not like Ritz crackers are a Western propaganda item either.

It depended. The USSR banned denim jeans because they were “bourgeoise symbols of capitalist excess”, so Levis became one of the most popular black market goods. Pepsi was the first western drink brand allowed behind the iron curtain rather than Coke, so eastern Europeans have a strong preference for Pepsi to this day. 
 

It, like most things in communist countries, was completely arbitrary and wholly subject to the fleeting whims of whomever was in charge.

I finally got around to buying one of these.

 

There's only one song that fits this car.

Would this be considered a barn find? Must be something Bogdan or Pavel left behind.

Of course this piece of crap barely run! 

Tada!

Of course I was only kidding. Here's the actual car. Crew color = 131C04FF + The trick

[Schuimpruim]

Not an everyday car, actually had somebody in freeroam asking me what car this was

 

[krotex]

Now that the gearboxes have been broken, these cars show good results. I have two of them. And both were won at the casino.

 

[SkupperNog]

I really wish they would fix this car. The fact it just DOESN'T WANT TO SWITCH GEARS makes it, and several other cars, sound like crap.
