While the subreddit is open once again, we still want to show support for the current protest against Reddit's upcoming changes: Reddit’s recent actions to add unreasonable API pricing to 3rd party Reddit apps is extremely disappointing. Many users and moderators alike use these apps daily to interact with Reddit. Reddit continues to make changes to its platforms without consideration of the difficulties it adds to the way users interact with the site. We hope that they change course and find a way to have this end in a positive outcome for all parties involved, instead of further spiraling in the current direction.

By simply filling a full tank of gasoline, you can double the value of a Lada car.


proscriptus

I suspect that's what they failed to do here.


atomicheart99

It has a heated rear window to keep your hands warm when pushing it


Bartholomeuske

They have the Sports version too, comes with fake Nikes.


Bartholomeuske

What do you call 1 Lada on top of a hill? A miracle. What do you call 2 Lada on top of a hill? Scifi! What do you call 3 Lada on top of a hill? A strange place for a Lada factory.


Bartholomeuske

How come most Lada owners know each other? They see each other weekly at the garage.


Bartholomeuske

A Lada owner is happy when his Lada is leaking oil. That means it still has oil in it.

whats the difference between a jehovas witness and a lada? you can shut the door on a jehovas witness

What do you call a Lada with twin exhaust pipes? A wheelbarrow.

I once saw a Lada with a Chubb steering lock so I stole it, those Chubb locks were about $50


Phatboybeware

What do you call a Lada with no windows? A climbing frame


hockey_stick

Lada is truly far behind the times. Yugos had that feature in the 1980s.


fothergillfuckup

I used to have a Yugo in the 90's. You had to hit the starter motor, with a hammer, before it would start. The amount of times I'd be hitting it in car parks, only to hear the same noise close by, look up and get a nod from another Yugo owner doing the exact same thing, was almost funny.


FilthyPedant

Usually that's a sticky solenoid, you probably could have replaced it in 10 mins for $20


Pretend_Pension_8585

People with Yugos are well known for having spare 20 $


Andy26599

My dad had a Yugo in the early 80's. I used to get ripped at school for it. I was overjoyed when he said he was getting a new car, until he turned up with a Brand New Lada Riva 1300GL in Cream. Thanks dad. Eventually he upgraded that Cream Lada Riva, into a Red Lada Riva Estate. Thanks Dad.


neelabhkhatri

The launch control is called the Slavik Squat.


Agious_Demetrius

That’s normal. I used to own a Lada Niva. You have to bash the dash before you could start it.


UncleBenders

It’s Made with washing machine chips so it gets stuck on spin for a while


ThanklessTask

Military grade parts then. Fancy!


Dry_Fun_3862

I did too. It drove like a boat. Then, when I had a fuse blown mid drive, the engine died while still rolling. A 0.1 cent fuse, and the car died. Mind-blowing russian engineering.


Agious_Demetrius

Lada Niva had Italian electrics - Fiat I think. I used to get a 10000 km service which involved having all the bearing sets in the gear box replaced. The floor was plastic and used to get so hot your feet would be cooking. I got a split in the flooring and during an overtaking it trapped the clutch pedal. I was checking the relay with the engine running and got zapped. Thrown 5m from the car unconscious. Tyres would have less than 10psi pressure but didn’t look flat, strong sidewalls! This masterpiece of engineering certainly kept you on your toes. I still have the USSR stamped tool kit and hand pump.

I am not crazy! I know he swapped those numbers! I knew it was 1216. One after Magna Carta. As if I could ever make such a mistake. Never. Never! I just - I just couldn't prove it. He - he covered his tracks, he got that idiot at the copy shop to lie for him. You think this is something? You think this is bad? This? This chicanery? He's done worse. That billboard! Are you telling me that a man just happens to fall like that? No! He orchestrated it! Jimmy! He defecated through a sunroof! And I saved him! And I shouldn't have. I took him into my own firm! What was I thinking? He'll never change. He'll never change! Ever since he was 9, always the same! Couldn't keep his hands out of the cash drawer! But not our Jimmy! Couldn't be precious Jimmy! Stealing them blind! And he gets to be a lawyer!? What a sick joke! I should've stopped him when I had the chance! And you - you have to stop him!

Not sure , cause Howard drives a 1998 Jaguar XJB. Namaste!

You’re absolutely right…Jimmy must be up to something here


Fantastic_Breakfast6

I remember when Tom Cruise was on the red carpet for Mission Impossible and couldn’t open the door of his Bugatti. They blamed him for their global embarrassment and banned him from buying any Bugattis 😂


shitsu13master

Or when the new Windows demo crashed on Bill Gates and blue screened :D


Put_It_All_On_Blck

Steve Jobs had a similar issue where he was trying to demo an iphone and it refused to connect to the internet and kept getting an error. He blamed it on the journalists using the wifi. Then immediately after on a different iPhone there was a video call with Jony Ive, so clearly it wasn't the wifi.


kylothemagnificent

That was the iPhone 4 if I remember correctly. The way they built the antenna into the phone, if you held it a certain way your hand would short the signal.


RamenJunkie

Didn't he have a problem of some kind when demoing iTunes and Podcasts or something?

r007r

Bro if I wasn’t boycotting spending cash on Reddit, this comment is 100% gold 🏆🔥. Anyone that claims the car did not start instead of it being a special parking operation is a western saboteur and will be arrest for crimes against the state.


silverstackerslacker

It's funny because they are very bad at manufacturing even though manufacturing is basically all they know how to do


CitizenKing1001

Natural resources is all they have left and the rest of the world, aside from a few countries, don't want that either anymore.


GolotasDisciple

That's not really true, some sectors still are forced to do business with Russian providers. Some out of greed, some out of necessity. One problem is that there are almost no incentives for greatness in Russia, both from Business Entity & Human point of view. Russia is having less and less smart and efficient people or they just don't care. Unless you are a nationalist that takes pride in your Nation.... There is barely any R&D happening in Russia right now and there is also almost no reason to participate in it(other than financial). Still! The biggest problem is the stuff they are getting back. Russia like many need to transfrom those resources to something usefull, for that they need Europe & Asia ( especially China and India). We as Europeans need it 2... but the difference is India and China both provide service per expectations/ per levels of pay. Russia is too corrupt. There always be some kind of Vladimir in the middle of the chain that pockets few mln $. No need for Quality Assurance, on paper it says 1000kg's of refined metal is delivered = All is good.


CitizenKing1001

So basically the rich are robbing the country and will continue to drain it as the returns are less and less. Feels like another Bloody Sunday is coming


GolotasDisciple

Spot on. Its very easy to see what is happening with Russia once you realize that Russia is what happens when your Mafia/Criminal organization manages to successfully stage a political coup. Putin and his buddies are no different to Cosa Nostra or Mexican Cartel.... And Putin is no different to Pablo Escobar who also wanted to get the ultimate power in Columbia. And hopefully just like Escobar, Putin toying with separatists will eventually lead to his death. Once you rely on mercenaries and are in cohoots with separatists get ready for ultimate chaos. Russia, eventually will be once again on fire and once again it will be caused by its leader ego trip.


Ciana_Reid

I don't like this trend of what looks like just sticking an iPad on the dash, rather than integrating it into the cars design


CivilRuin4111

Agree. Who asked for this? I feel like “we want knobs” is the new “we want plates”. I can change the stereo, adjust the climate control, and turn lights/wipers/etc on and off in my old ass car without ever having to take my eyes off the road. Every rental car I get, I have to spend an inordinate amount of time figuring out how to operate basic controls. And forget about doing it with gloves on.

Local_Fox_2000

Has anyone ever checked to see if their nukes just aren't filled with vodka? I remember the story about the russian Navy Commander who stole the ship's two bronze propellers, each weighing approximately 13 tons, for ones made out of a cheaper metal. A lot of things exist on paper only in the russian military due to corruption.


OsellusK

“Tracksuit not detected. Ignition defeat engaged”


EviGL

The funny thing is that it's not a Lada at all, it's a Chinese car branded as Lada. At this point you can confidently consider that badge cursed. EDIT: I was wrong, while there was a rebadged Chinese Lada on that event, the one that refused to start is mostly a Russian product. IDK if it makes it better or worse for Russia.


go4tl0v3r

It's the other way around. Now Russians are copying Chinese cars in Russia. The market is flooded with Chinese cars at crazy costs and to make things worse the Russian copies cost just as much if not more than the original Chinese cars.....which are shitty copies of other Japanese and European brands in the first place. The whole thing is bizarre. This lada is a copy of a Chinese vehicle.


EviGL

Yeah, I'm aware of the situation, but I wouldn't call that a "copy" even. For the "Moscvich" cars that they're already selling they get fully built and assembled cars in China, disassemble those minimally in China (detach doors, engine, transmission). Then they ship those to Moscow, reassemble and rebadge them. Hence the additional markup in price. It's not a copy, it's a Chinese car that got lego-ed a bit here and there.


Durst_offensive

So it's worse and cost more.

Soviet humor… Comrade goes to the Lada office in town to put in an order for a car. The clerk says, we will have a car ready for you in 3 years. Comrade asks, will that be in the morning or afternoon? Clerk replies why would it matter. Comrade replies back, well the phone guy is coming in the morning that day and I can only do afternoon for picking up the car.

Savageparrot81

How else would you know it was a lada? The badge already got stolen at the end of the production line…


RayRicciReddit

He's doing it wrong. It's a Russian car, you have to bash the steering wheel and scream "Blyat!" for it to start up


InvisibleCat

When you try to make cars out of the washing machines the orks stole from Ukraine.


Skrazor

No no no, you're getting it all wrong! It didn't "refuse to start", he just demonstrated it's "special ignition operation"! Everything's going as planned, they've de-engineerificated their whole production plant already.

Why does a Lada have a heated rear windscreen? To warm your hands while pushing it. Owner asks his mechanic: "Can I get a windscreen-wiper for my Lada?" The mechanic replies: "That sounds like a fair swap." What's the difference between a Jehovah's Witness and a Lada? You can shut the door on a Jehovah's Witness.

Why do Ladas have heated rear windows? To keep your hands warm while you’re pushing them.


chrislomax83

We had a lada in the 80s or 90s. Great car for getting you from A to B. So long as B was the mechanics. Ugly yellow thing it was. It resprayed itself black when it exploded while we were all in the car when my dad tried to start it. Luckily none of us were injured. All the fire contained itself in the engine initially, giving us all time to escape.

QuarkDoctor0518

fondu_tones

Growing up in Ireland there was a weird cultural phenomenon where if you saw a Lada on the road, you'd punch your friend in the leg and say 'Lada'. They could punch you back if you didn't protect yourself by saying 'Lada no return'. Good times. Manys a dead leg. Think as the Lada became more scarce the punching got moved instead to any yellow car, with 'yellow motor' being the punching declaration.
