There’s no such thing as a broken Lada. It works just as intended

[@FATTYBONGRIPS]

facts

[@AbsoluteMiniacGena]

I always found it amusing that during the 80’s and 90’s, Ladas were seen as a poor Englishman’s car. They were driven until they would cost too much to keep on the road and then they pretty much ALL vanished.…I discovered around a decade later that instead of them being crushed at the scrapyard, they had been taken all the way back to Russia where they’re given a new lease of life. They had been looked after in England and never driven on roads like those on this video in Dagestan. I can imagine that many of those cars taken back to Russia in the nineties, could still be on the road. I recall there was quite a spate of Lada’s being stolen and nobody understood why because they were laughed at in England and then it was established they were all within a reasonable distance from one of the quieter British Ports (probably where they smuggle people into the U.K. now) they were being driven into Tam Containers rather than just driven onto the ship and they were then hidden during their journey. Of course no Ladas has alarms or immobilisers so were easy to nick. They were usually owned by older people so were well maintained and so the Russians loved those ones and they made good money for the crime ‘gangs’😂

That's not what that means. "You can live here" is the direct translation. It sounds like "survive" (вышить) but the word is "live" (шить). It's a common phrase in Russian speaking countries. It really means "Yea, it's not too bad to live here."
