I bet you've never gone up against a T-34.

You mean against T-34 with a technical platoon? Because it requires engine service every 500 km (like pretty every other tank).

My father remembers Moskvich. It was supposed to be car with increased ground clearance, but distributor was placed that puddle over 5cm would flood it. Apparently you could see drivers drying them out occasionally (yes, you had to know how to take it apart)!

All I could remember was him adding gas directly into carburettor during cold mornings. Getting 10 year old rusted Opel after that was like living in future. We finally felt europeans.
