“Lowriding has become a way of life for me and there are people getting serious about it. Some bloggers from Moscow recently offered me 3 million Rubles (which loosely translates to 40K) for my car, but I always think, ‘How can I sell my heart?'”

The Caprice has become more than just a car. It’s a lifestyle he’s captivated by, and the memories and friendships the car has created are irreplaceable. When asked about the response to his car in Siberia, he says “People have never seen anything like it in real life. They have seen lowriders in movies or the internet, and it’s hard to ignore my lowrider since it’s the only one here. The police on the other hand love it. They pull me over and it’s the same routine where they say, ‘Anatoliy Vladimorovich, Can I have your documents and what kind of car is it?'”

He goes on to explain that the police don’t even look at his documents and usually walk around his car admiring it. “My mechanic wonders why I have so much chrome, people are amazed by candy paint and pin striping because it’s not seen here, and I get many questions. Honestly, I am tired of answering questions repeatedly because I get it so much. They ask things like, ‘Why is there chrome under the hood? How loud is it? What is it called? How much does it eat.’ To be honest, so many people ask me to jump it up. that I want to sometimes tell them to go jump themselves!”
