7. They're working fine for the Mac here.

15. Even during the cold war
Russian science, engineering & technology were far from primitive. After all, who launched the first satellite and launched the first human into space? Consider further that the Soviet Union was the second nation to develop a nuclear weapon and that they developed a hydrogen bomb a mere ten months after the United States.

8. They are a privately owned company too.
They have a definite edge in creativity over our state owned automaker!

Italians think the same about the styling of the Chevy Corvette.

21. I liked those giant cars they used to make that looked like a '50's Packard.

It was a ZIL, and here's some with that ol' used car king himself, Uncle Joe:

29. There was also a ZIM and a ZIS. These were only for
high party officials. One of these is in the US since it got captured in the Korean War.
