Anna Loginova RIP

I did a GIS for 'anna loginova' and this came up:

I'm assuming that is not who you are referring to :smug:
 
So...

1) She buys a Porsche.
2) She foils an attempted carjack (1st time).
3) She carries on driving a Porsche.
4) She's presumably worth a LOT of money (like, maybe enough not to really miss a Porsche).
5) She gets jacked again, hangs on to the door and is dragged along but doesn't let go for about 100 yards, when she loses her grip and gets a fatal crack on the head from the tarmac.

Tragic, gutsy, but dumb. Darwin Award nominee, I would think.

Yup. It's just a car.

Now, if it had been my bike, then I'd have killed the f*****. Cars are nothing.

She was sort of smokin'. Wonder if there was a 'Mother, Jugs and Speed' moment afterwards.
 
You don't often see the words Russia and Porsche in the same sentence.

There are a lot of Porsches in Russia. Many fortunes were made in the economic chaos after the fall of the Soviet Union, so now there's a class filthy rich people that can afford to buy pretty much anything. I've heard that the latest trend amongst the wealthy Russians is buying penthouses in downtown Vienna for a summer apartment.
 
I drive a Porsche 928 in the summer it sits in storage during the winter and comes out in the summer for special ocasions. I would not risk my life for it though and I doubt the model I own is a hot item...so that is better for me I guess.
