Re: Time is Ripe for Ruskie-Chrysler Car

My guess is that a Russian vehicle would require $20,000 worth of work to meet all the federal crash, safety and emissions standards...now your $10,000 vehicle will cost $30,000 and it will still be a Russian POS when all is done.

Doofus, the top-selling car in Russia is the Lada, and AvtoVAZ production facilities cannot even keep up with the demand. VAZ is not interested in export until they have saturation in the Russian domestic maker. None of this is any big secret.

Serious, you may be, knowledgeable, you are not.

In non-legal definitions, "Copyright" effectively means that you "own" the rights to the work as published and that others cannot publish the work (a copy) without acknowledging your rights (often in the form of a royalty payment).

For example, works of fact or fiction may be copyright.

The LADA and the NIVA(small 4x4) were imported into Canada from early 80s until mid 90s, though the sales fell off alot in the mid 80s.

The Lada was ok, tractor like engine, but body was prone to rust. The NIVA was tough. There are NIVA clubs still in Toronto area - they share old parts to keep them on the road.

Wasn't Lada the car where, if you put it in reverse, the speedometer would run backwards?

I'm also not sure that the Lada owed anything to Russian engineering or design. iirc They bought the plant, dies, and complete production capability from Fiat to build the Fiat 124 locally.

The speedometer ran backwards in the K-car. Once while spinning the wheels while trying to get out of a snow bank I saw it go counter-clockwise to

90km/h. When the person tried drive it went all the way around, past 140, past the odometer, back over to 40 km/h

Damn NASA, getting incomplete combustion with hydrogen and oxygen.

The boosters are solid fuel, not Hydrogen/Oxygen.
