Actually, Russia's economy has crashed w/ the collapse of oil prices.

My company's most promising growth markets used to be referred to as the BRIC - Brazil, Russia, India, and China. Russia has fallen off that list, at least for now.

i can't imagine maintenance. even my best microfiber towels with lambs wool mitts and a two bucket wash technique would leave it looking dull after awhile. And i don't even know if you can do machine polishing to that finish.

looks cool.... but is the ultimate in impractical.

The chrome thing is so played out. It's one of those things that sounds cool on paper, and maybe it's even cool on a car or two. But now it's the look-at-me du jour.

How often do you see chrome cars in real life? I have yet to see one other than on the net...

It's OK. More car show material than anything that should be driven. Carnivals ,state fairs. Automobile oddities displayed with Dali and Warhol seems kinda fitting. Truly unsafe on the street, particularly at night. Imangine be blinded by oncoming headlights and the headlights turn out to be your own.
