Also, brownie points for coming through with some pictures of cars, those things are great. No power, no ABS, no safety, RWD and weigh a ton - great for the winters :lol Yup. Yup. The cars are CRAP. I was scared to death. I drove in a taxi for the first time while in Ukraine (never been in a US taxi) and it was the biggest piece of crap ever. I closed the door and it didn’t have any of that soft thud our doors have, there is metal to metal. It felt like I slammed the door as hard as I could. EVERYTHING rattles when they drive, including my teeth. lol. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/my-trip-to-ukraine-august-2009/245814)._
