Default Oops! Russian Subway Parking . . .





Apparently this Russian guy lost control of his Lada and ended up, or rather down, the subway entrance. According to the guy who took the pictures, not only did the driver escape without getting hurt but luckily for him, there were no innocent by-passers at the time at the subway’s stairway entrance.

Hasn't that happened somewhere else also. People thought it was a parking garage entrance but it was actually for the subway. Damn forgot where that happened.

Wtv it is the new rage in Russia, use your Lada as a skateboard
