Wait since their is no electronics in a Lada so then that means it’s EMP proof and that also means it can resist the emp effect from nukes, holy blyet that is a 20th reason to get Lada
Well technicly the engine is an electronic bcs the sprakplugs use electricity to cause combustion. Which is normal gopnik english means that engine needs power to let gas go boom so you can drive
Is it cold where you live? cold weather makes any electrical batteries and accumulators be less effective, like in extreme examples you lose 40% of your charge and by that lose range which is kinda hella important. You'd be more happy to have a hybrid system since it still uses gasoline to power up a small engine that powers up the electric motor which won't let you be stranded in the middle of nowhere.
@@IndustrialParrot2816 in that case you won't have any problems at all if you don't get into like -30 degrees or less. Better to know your car or any transport that you use in order to avoid any unpleasant situations. Safe travels
Car salesman: do you want to purchase a high quality all angles parking sensor? Boris: *looks at Anatoli* Anatoli: BEEP Boris: I think we have it covered
Reason #20 The steel bumper also serves as the parking sensor when you don't have a friend beeping in the trunk, or he is too drunk to beep properly - you just back up until the bumper stops at the limit, and car goes back no more. That means you're parked good.
So like i got bored and I thought maybe I'd mess around with my gps audio files and replaced the speed limiter with Boris' voice thank you for the idea
We had a Lada 1200 for a lot of years as a family car, and I would like to unironically get one for myself one day. It was a beautiful car, ran well, low maintenance, rear wheel drive, very charming.
You did more for Lada with this video than Lada itself! :D Boris... you really are SOMETHING! :D Best car I ever had, by the way. ;) All the best to you from Ljubljana :)
Sorta reminds me of how some Soviet pilots would sometimes push their MiG-21s (a fighter jet) until they literally disintegrated, and how some more pilots would also push their MiG-25s (another fighter jet) until the engines completely died. The safest high speed for the MiG-25 was Mach 2.83 (or 2.83 times the speed of sound), and you could push it to Mach 3.2, which is the cruising speed of a certain legendary jet called the SR-71 Blackbird
Thats why I'll only ever buy older solely mechanical US made cars now, you dont need a $2000 obd computer to diagnose the damn things. And if you drop a socket it falls right out of the engine bay instead of getting caught in one of the hundreds of plastic shrouds and covers newer cars have.
@@100GTAGUY That is so true! Those dang sockets are slippery and I'm glad I only work on older cars as the newer ones are almost a black hole for tools.
@@screamingchicken5797 yup, im looking at on old 74 vega panel delivery wagon for a sobriety project. Cant wait to be able to drop sockets and find them in a minute lol
@@100GTAGUY Oh that will be a fun project to work on. Most panel vans had the beauty of the old trucks and amazing fun vans offer. I myself am working on an old 1988 Mr2 and is a blast to work on besides all the rust and dust.
I was already sold without this video (Ever since infancy when I was driven to the village and back with my Grandfather's Lada 2106), but thanks for double-convincing me I guess.
Swap in an sr20 and a 5spd, Airbags to get low, some cheap Rotas for flash and I'd daily the hell out a lada. A lada wagon would be choice though... Room for audio boom! I wonder how much it would be to import one to the USA... I couldn't imagine them being very expensive.
I had the opportunity at one point in my life to buy a E34 for 300$. The only thing wrong with it was the transmission was stuck in first gear. It ran good, good interior and exterior. It was so nice. I took it for a test drive, then went to test drive a different car. When I came back from test driving the other car, the BMW had already sold...learned a very hard lesson that day.
If a Lada doesn't start during winter you can just yell "THE SNOW IS SPEAKING FINNISH!!!" to the tailpipe and the Russian cube will start hauling ass immediately
Also it can be heated to operating temperature with blowtorch or making fire under the engine... long as there is not that many oil leaks, or you need to crab the bucket of sand from trunk/find loose sand and shovel to put out the fire.... its been two decades and last summer i found out why old man always had shovel in our old Nuffield, sure it had uses in trowing sand on the road, but its main use was fire fighting...
Man that Lada is so nice I'm tempted to renounce my western ways to just once experience the pure slavic momentum produced by such a magnificent remnant of a simpler time
My goodness, this brings back memories of the 1980's. I live in the South Shore of Montréal, Canada, and Ladas were sold in a dealership in my city. The cars were rewiewed in yearly car guides (the reviews were "Ladas are bad, but they are the cheapest cars on the market") and Lada jokes were common.
True but to this day the shit box will still run and drive like new mainly being as even when it was new it was still crap but that's besides the point
This is all sooooooo similar to my two stroke Trabant 601! Eastern Block Build 1989 Easy to maintain Shaky Tachometer around 60, goes to 120 (reaches 115 with 26Hp!) No Rev Counter Oh hey, i have a Radio! Easy to maintain. I rebuild the engine in 2h and replaced the Clutch in less than 1h Carburetor and Choke Never fails during cold weather Gasoline with 2-Stoke oil and optional leaded Good Design Gigantic Trunk Rear Couch Manual 4-speed with steering column shifter 6l/100km (somewhat like 40-50 MPG) Once it broke down, car fixed itself. Just waited 2 minutes and driven it again, issue was gone!
I was driving my cousin's old Clio. Other cars weren't there that day. The speedometer wasn't working at all. I drove in 4th gear at 2k rpm assuming it was 60 km/h lol.
I need to precise that this lady is actually very rare because it seem to be one of the most recent like from the 90 and it is in perfect condition (for a lada) and ran only 20k kilometers , which is nothing
You also have to know about the «Волга» car. It's kind of like an S-class. Engine repair there is so simple that it can be done completely sitting under the hood.
@@returnofbeaux To be honest I like more boxy shape cars than curvy. Also old cars had unique interesting and beautiful design. Modern cars are boring, ugly and repetitive design.
@@heromannickbggaming287 tesla cybertruck, hypercars (yes they are different from each other), supercars, fun offroaders and other interesting cars exist The opinion that all modern cars are boring, ugly and repetitive is really bad and shows that people know nothing about cars and don't wanna evolve Meanwhile, speaking about repetetive design, vaz 2101, 2103, 2104, 2105, 2106, 2107 exist, and they all have almost the same design
A guy i know has a lada and his car repair costs are indeed basically nothing. The mechanic just slaps a random part he has leftover in that thing when its broken and it just works for some reason.
Yup, I'm honestly considering maybe picking up a Lada after seeing how nice it looks with a bit of work and care. You're also pretty much guaranteed to never run into someone with the same car, so fun conversation starter. :p
My dad had a Lada when i was like 5 yrs old, it was the miracle machine. It started even at a temperature that the finns start putting on a jacket, about -35c. On the flipside when there was -35c nobody came to kindergarten, because their parents cars wouldn't start. And I usually was all by myself those weeks of the year...
My dad had two lada's growing up. One lived up to the stereotype, and was a useless Soviet rectangle. The other one though, was brilliant. Did everything we needed. I kinda miss it.
@Lassi Kinnunen I saw a dacia that lost the gas cap (the cap that keeps the gas inside the car) and everytime the car turned right a little bit of gas would fall out
The production of these beasty cykas even outlasted the Soviet Union - they were made all the way down to 2012. That's when you know your car is perfect
That is the VAZ 2106 isn't it? It was one of the best cars ever from AvtoVAZ/Zhiguli. Take care of it, that is a masterpiece of a car and I hope you're not joking.
