Diecast ZILs
There was a rumor that Gorbachev died today. When a historical figure dies, I often do a quick Google image search of said dead figure standing next to an iconic car (while alive). I shared this ritual with Jay Ramey at Autoweek and he promptly shared this picture of his personal ZIL collection.

Well, they aren't diecast. They are resin. Made by Spark (Dip).
It'll be a sad day indeed when Gorbachev dies. I think he's a fascinating and complex character. I thought this story was interesting:

Also, I NEED a ZIL limo in my life, badly.
Gorbachev is a miserable person. There is a reason why everyone hates him. Should have never ruled any country, not even talking about USSR. The fact that the person of his caliber showed up in Louis Vuitton travel bag advertising proves that. A sellout.
