The other thing we noticed that the beer was numbered based on strength rather than having a name.

um when did you go? i guess not in the last 4-5years. beer has 100s of brands, ranging from 50cents a half a litre botle to 1.5$ and 2$. domestic is fresh and very good decent beer. water is cheap. i havent seen vodka being sold by the glass in years. last time i remember them doing that was 94 when it was banned.

dam when i saw the title of this thread i thought you were accusing me of driving under the influence. Lets just get it straight that I never drink or do drugs. The first time my 240 was totalled it was by a young girl and she was not under the influence I escaped that without injury. The second time I was hit by a drunk driver in my brand new RSX type S and I was hospitalized for a week. The type s was completly destroyed. I had 3 broken ribs a punctured lung a cracked vertabrae a bruised skull, internal bleeding and damaged spleen. Theres not much i can do to stop people from drinking and driving, im just saying that if you choose to drink and drive be prepared to live with the outcome the rest of your life. As for me every day im recovering, this crash won't stop me and i'm glad I escaped with my life. You have no idea unless you've been thru this kind of thing what it does to you. Be safe all

prices on food seemed to be about the same as those in the US for me in ukraine.. of course in kiev, with is further inland and the capitol city, things were more expensive.
We found that the smaller of the town we were in, the cheaper things were, which oddly enough is opposite of my experience in US.

russian · 09-21-2003, 10:29 PM

yea consumer basket price is average. but food is not that expensive, although some things are (like everywhere else)
the level of livin is much lower for many compared to Russian Federation, thats why we have so much cheap labor from all the former Soviet Union republics.

btw heres a good link on lada rally and wllpapers.

Haha, my cousin wanted to check out the street racing in Minsk this summer, but I assumed it would be crappy, so we never tried to go. I'll definitely check out the car scene over there next summer. I did however see a ton of nice cars (German market 200sx's, AWD turbo Opel Calibras... etc) at the "Avtorynok", that was a welcome surprise. Of course, Belarus is dirt poor, so the scene in Russia is MUCH better. I almost bought an '89 CA18DET 200sx while over there though, hehe, only $2500! I'd have garage space for it, but my common sense got the best of me, since I'm only there for about a month out of each year. Ah yes, the motherland....

this thread is REALLY off topic now

Edit: to the reply below... sorry dude!

No way, man! That's why I clarified it in the first line of the post.
Anyway, I was under the impression that the first girl was drunk too, but I guess it was a case of DWI (Driving Without Intelligence).
Anyway.
I'm glad you're getting better. Do you know what car you should be getting next, or are you not caring much about it at this point?

As for you Fucs Fucs Fucs Fucs that took this thread more OT than it already was, Fuc you.

If you want to start an OT thread about Russian street racing or Ladas or whatever, feel free. Just don't crap up my thread. It's not polite.

And for the Fuc who moved my thread.. I SAID I WAS GONNA!! Damn!
