Iz
Another great Soviet specialty… the IZ. That’s right. The IZ. Has a 2-stroke, 16 hp engine (motorcycle engine, that is) & if you’re lucky to get a nice wind behind you & a downhill slope you just might reach 60 km/h. I kid you not… this car is the size of my couch! But one cool thing I learned about the IZ iz that it’z totally hand-controlled. The throttle, clutch & brakes are all at the steering wheel for the physically handicapped. Yes, folks, the Soviets actually cared about that. Go figure.
Imagine… bringin’ home the taters in that dream machine!

I live in Tyler, Texas.
Looks like the love child of a Lada and an old metal lunchbox.
Love? Did I say love? I did not say love.
Actually… the Lada has a wee bit more class, in my opinion. I’m thinking about the Wartburg… and a lunch box.
