Typical Russians. They probably think they're badass drivers now.

Being from Ukraine, I know a LOT of Russians, and literally over 95% of them who are "into" cars think that doing a few donuts or powerslides mean they "know how to drive".


I'm not exaggerating either.

Haha, worth it for the huge Russian limos (Zils?) sliding and swinging j turns. You would probably need most of Russia to be able to accomplish those maneuvers.

What kind of car is that ? It looks like a 'Benz knockoff.

Zil 41047 powah!

I want to see the Cadillac One do that haha.

Sounds like americans.

After living here for 18 years, I'll have to disagree.

Way to take a thread that clearly has the potential to be awesome (sliding limos + Mother Russia) and kill it with a first post that is full of generalizations and stereotypes.

I guess to some people this might be an awesome thread, to me it's a reminder of all the cocky idiots I know.

Maybe the 95% I know just so happened to be the "bad apples" of the lot, but I'm just stating my opinion on the matter. It's nothing against Russian people specifically(I have more Russian friends than any other nationality), but if you can agree with me that cocky people who think they're next Aryton Senna after doing some donuts fail, then we're on the same page.

EDIT: It just so happens that the only people I know personally who are like that and aren't Russian, I can count on one hand.

EDIT #2: Get on youtube and search for "Russian Drifting" and not including the race tuned BMW in the first video, see how long it takes to find something that isn't donuts, burnouts, or corner exit powerslides. I'm on the second page already.

This is the first one I got.

That may just bolster other Russian stereotypes, though.

I'm serious, keep looking. Even the drifting events posted contain spin after spin.


That's a funny video though.

I'd still like the SWB ZiL Limo.

And some people think they are great drivers because they have light parts and Slipstreams on their cars... Reminds me of some Honda idiots I know Gotta agree with someone here, way to kill the thread.. Just relax.

That limo is just awesome.. So is this:

I hate them too. You know what they say, "JDM is the new rice."

The cars look different, but the mentality of the drivers is the same.


I did this kind of stuff today, great fun.👍

I'm going to have to concede with PB on this one. I've met many Eastern-Europeans and though there are few good ones, the vast majority tend to be cocky showoffs. It's funny how so many people crticised Borat, yet he really nailed many of their behaviours.

Then again, I'm sure cocky showoffs don't exist only in Eastern Europe.
