Korovushka (Cyrillic: Коровушка) means "little cow" in Russian.

I painted her myself!

I'm still working on her. Currently she struggles to go even 40 mph, but if you consider that a year ago she didn't run, I'd like to think I made a bit of progress.

This is one of the most awesome things ever. I maintain that you should hook this thing up with some huge speakers and a sweet audio deck and blast music as you cruise down the street.

Very nice car!

Don't forget to put a flower in the vase mounted on the glove compartment.

Hot! Though I think it might need more spots.

It should be named "Kuhwagen" though, since it is a German car. :)

I'm not really into cars much, but that looks quite like an old VW Beetle...

Is that pronounced "KUH-vah-gen" with the stress on the first syllable? I was considering calling her by a German name, but I don't know German, and it would be a shame to name her something inaccurate.


She's a 1970, for the reference.

You should substitute the "Volks" on the back of the car with "Kuh". :D

It can be pronounced "Кýваген", if that makes it easier.

Haha, yes, you've gotta love how Russian is so phonetic and awesome.

Bonz - did you record that yourself? I'm totally digging the deep voice.:)


Just from driving her every day, she's running remarkably better. She no longer backfires, she never skips cylinders, (occasionaly one wouldn't fire for some reason) and she goes at good speeds now.

Yes.
I wouldn't know a source on the web that has wave files of "Kuhwagen".

I got that for free after puberty.

But yeah, that's pretty cool.
