Default Moscow Chevrolet

Just got back from a trip to Moscow. Thought you guys would appreciate this Miscellaneous Dealers picture.



Translates roughly as: Trenete Motors. They had a Caddy CTS, a full size Suburban, etc. but no performance cars.

Then about two blocks away I passed this



I was feeling a little hungover (excellent Russian beer and a three hour time change) so I had to rub my eyes a few times to believe it. I was late for a meeting literally around the corner, so I couldn't stop. Luckily after about 30 mins of meeting the client wanted a 15 min. break. I hightailed back were I had seen the Camaro and it was still there.

By the way the ad on the sign next to the car is selling some drink called Adrenaline Rush.

Last shot. Day 2 car for sure. Traction bars, skinnies up front, B&M style shifter on the console, a wierd glitter style wheel with a big flat aluminum center plate and a big old modern 10k tach on the column. Black basic guts but a light blue wheel. Interior was in great shape. Exterior was a strange color kind of halfway between LeMans and Dusk blue. Couldn't get near enough to see the VIN. Almost got killed crossing the street and the guy that's half in the screen was looking at me a bit weirdly.



I tried to check out the web address that's on the quarter, but it's mostly about old VWs, Mercs and 1930s cars. You can't see it but there's a price on the roof in big white vinyl letters.

Any guesses how much they want for it?

Nobody around. I thought about leaving my business card, but that might be a one way ticket to a kidnapping or extortion. Russia's deep in Wild West mode at the moment. I thought about it hard though, until I saw the price on the roof...
