The 2012 Lada Wedgie
That’s a Russian Lada Kalina circa 2012, and if that’s not a bollard attack, then maybe a telephone pole lost its brakes, or someone’s boat was speeding or something. No way can a Lada travel that fast.

JP Soars’ Gypsy Blue Review plays an eclectic mix of blues, rock and southern soul, and features the amazing violinist Anne Harris. J.P. Soars is no slouch either – he also performs as JP Soars & The Red Hots.
