 They are so broke they must drive Audis.  Either that or they do not
 know how broke those that drive Audis really are.

Funny somebody finally mentioned Russia.  They do have Audis.  This just goes
to show how PERVERTED I am.  Wife & I adopted 2 kids from K. in Nov. 1993,
one month after the White House Revolt.  Had the kids & wife in a hotel in
Moscow and I took off for a sight-seeing excursion.  What do I find but a mid
1980s Audi 80 with beautiful headlights and a unique grill - I took a picture
of it - So that day I saw a dead Lenin and an Audi. BTW Russia/Moscow is
fascinating.  Most of the people who drive drive little sh*t boxes but the
day we picked the kids up it was -40F no shit.  I grew up in MN and I never
saw ice crystals suspended in mid-air. that day I saw them - awesome!  I also
saw in Moscow 4 full sized adults get out of a 911,  the taxi cabs there are
Mercedes, the Moscow mafia drive American SUVs.  There are no gas stations in
Moscow- you drive the ring road and look for a tanker pulled off to the side
- you queue up and wait your turn - American dollars gladly accepted
everywhere.  A slim breakfast for 4 - 2 adults & 2 kids - at a good hotel was
$40 - gladly paid.  The art work was fantastic and price cheap.  Very
interesting place.  By the way one block from the 911 (Carrera of SC)
sighting was the Kiev train station - there I saw a fellow lie down on the
sidewalk and die.  Tough place.
