Zaporozhets

A Soviet made car — a Zaporozhets — was travelling along the Chicago-New York freeway. After a while it broke down.

A Buick stopped, and took it on tow. Just at this moment a Ford overtook the Buick. Automatically, the driver of the Buick accelerated. The two cars raced at eighty, ninety, then a hundred miles an hour...

The Zaporozhets bobbed along behind on the tow rope jerkily sounding its horn at the Buick to make it stop, because the Zaporozhets was all but falling apart.

The next morning there was a paragraph in the Soviet papers: 'Yesterday a Buick and a Ford were racing at a hundred miles an hour on the Chicago-New York freeway.

Just behind them raced a Soviet Zaporozhets blowing its horn furiously, to get them to give way.'
