UAZ-2206

A UAZ-2206 van is in these pictures.

In continuous production since 1965, first as UAZ-452 now, UAZ-2206; could now be the oldest vehicle in production anywhere in the world.

Lots of cars everywhere in Dubna.

Google AdSense Is Horrible and Doesn't Work, and You Get No Help

By the look of it, Google (boogle) must be employing the lowest-IQ individuals anywhere in the world just like their two benighted founders were. 

Google and her various services create lots of problems whenever anyone tries to use them but provide no help to, like, 99% of all users.

One of my blogs has become a victim of their bad coding and poor service.

AdSense doesn't work on my blog and the dumb google or adsense or whoever does nothing about it.

Don't get involved with Google AdSense, stay clear of it - the whole thing is a giant heap of manure at best, you'll get nothing from it but grief and certainly next to nothing in the way of earnings.

The thing has more bugs and than a hobo's bed and there is absolutely no help available.

Ford Ranchero

In a first-time sighting, here is a Ford Ranchero.

A 1966-79 Ford Ranchero, specifically a 1972 Ford Ranchero GT,

This body style is actually known as coupé utility and it's not heavily inhabited but the other notable representative is the Chevrolet El Camino but again this one is a six-generation 1972 Ford Ranchero GT by the looks of it.

I could live in this cargo bed.

 Also, it would make a nice swimming pool.

Toyota Vista

Here is a Toyota Vista ( ト ヨ タ · ビ ス タ).

Basically, a Toyota Camry but with some differences which include upgraded lights and optics, a hardtop body and a downgraded interior compared to the relevant generation Toyota Camry.

 

The Toyota Vista was strictly a JDM car in all generations; still some made their way into Russia where this one was sighted (in Moscow).

It also had a special emblem distinct from the Toyota Camry's.

Volt # 2

Sighted recently: a black Chevrolet Volt.

A first-generation Chevrolet Volt wearing a coat of something black.

The Chevrolet Volt is now discontinued, of course, and was never officially imported in Russia, but still this is the second one spotted by myself so far without looking for them (or for anything) on purpose in the course of my occasional and slow-running car spotting activity.
