Wow! Cool!

I think it could be the only one! I wish I could get one (or make one like it from my L99 )There are quite a lot of camaros nowdays in Moscow and even a few in St. Petersburg, but again we only have abt 20 millons cars for 140 millions people in Russia.

Pretty happy that a camaro is not to be seen often though makes me feel pretty exclusive!

This could explain why there are so many accidents, people have little experience driving. Drive carefully and use a dashcam!

That is true. We don't have a rich automotive history like USA - where car is natural like a piece of clothes you wear. Some of the cars we have here are very old and in a very poor condisions, so are many roads. And newer cars are often driven by young drivers who did not pay attention in driving school and have no real expierience.

It is getting better though. More people buying cars, more people are acting responsible. But still there is a long way to go for us here.

I spend my last vacation with my friends renting a car in USA and driving coast to coast (NY to LA) it is very different. You feel much safer. The only tight spot was Colorado mountains - I am not that used to decents and had to remember how to perform engine-braking which I never used much in Russia...

Why is a Camaro so expensive there? Taxes?

Yup. Customs fees are still crazy high. Especially for new cars, especially for big engines. Was pretty tight on budget but I only wanted new 6.2...
