Nice picture.

It does seem like a rough place to own such vehicles.

I was in Moscow in 2004, saw a bunch of exotics, including a couple of Gallardos, first ones I had ever seen. There is a lot of money in that town. The top dogs had these blue flashing lights they would stick on the top of their bimmers, benzs, etc and just breeze thru traffic, which was horrendous.

there is a lot of money there, no question -- but i think the contrast of rich vs. poor is what makes it stand out even more.

as for "migalki" as these blue flashing lights are called -- its very common, but lately even they dont help with the traffic in there. i was stuck in the car for 4+ hours on August 31st on the route which usually takes 30 minutes. the whole city was grid-locked. can't move. check out:

Holy sh*t......no point owning an exotic, dealing with that.

I did note another thing about rich moscovites.... arrogant ******; no manners, rude to their "lessors", pushy and abrasive showoffs too. The regular folk seemed to have pretty thick skins, because they took the crap dished out to them stoically....

Mr. vroom i think you are the most ignorant mothermucker i have ever encountered on this site. we are arrogant and rude to fools like u who are a "lesser" and have no clue what they are talking about and base our culture on **** they see on tv. It sound like you just dont like russians to begin with (probably got your ***** taken from you by one of us and now holding a grudge huh?)

i didnt find anything in his posts that show ignorance or negativity toward our culture. everything he said is spot on. about arrogance of rich folks, about average people, etc...

your post on the other hand portrays russians as un-educated and simply hostile. btw, its a classic of a 2nd post. way to make friends.
