Not All Russian Dashcams Record Carnage

Russians apparently love their dashboard mounted video cameras. Those cameras have provided us with eye popping as-they-happened views of car crashes, truck crashes, and even a plane crash or two. Sometimes the videos are of very close calls, others record vehicular mayhem, injuries and, sadly, fatalities. So it’s refreshing to see that someone has made a compilation of Russian dashcam videos that show human beings at their best, people stopping to help elderly and infirm pedestrians get through traffic safely or folks lending a hand to motorists and others in need of help.

  • Bd2 Anal has been posting as my username again. My imports are : Hyundai Galloper, the original asian offroad SUV copied by the Isuzu Trooper, Izuzu Montero and Toyota Land Cruiser.
  • Jeff Heard about this on You Tube. Not a fan of Stellantis but then there are those here who like them which is their prerogative.
  • Oberkanone Retro is great when done right. Love it. If only 06 GTO would have looked like a 69 I'd own one. 2002 Thunderbird. Hate it. New Beetle I dislike. Current Bronco is fantastic. Challenger is very good.
  • Jeff Don't mind retro as long as they don't bring back leisure suits, unbuttoned shirts exposing hairy chests with gold chains, men's platform shoes, wide lapels, wide ties, big shirt collars, mood rings, shag carpet, disco, and appliances in burnt orange, harvest gold, and avocado green. Those items I never want to see again. I wouldn't mind more analog gauges and knobs and buttons. Add more cars and less suvs.
  • Mic I have a '23 Limited Forester and I've learned that driving a CVT is different from an automatic slush box. I have no problems passing anyone on the highway as long as I gradually put the pedal to the metal over the course of about a second. I think it takes the computer a second to adjust the pulley ratios or something. If you just stomp on it I think it gets confused for more than a second lol. So, once you get the hang of it, it really doesn't lack torque at all. Look at CRs 45-65 acceleration times (which is a better metric than 0-60 times) and the Forester is quicker than a lot of other compact SUVs.
