«On February 1, 2025, we purchased a neglected '89 Lincoln Continental that was going to be scrapped.
Half-disassembled, incomplete, overgrown with wild grapes. And now it's finally on the road.»

Ще 17.06 склав, але до сих пір тригер отримую.
Чудово отримувати відповідь від мами. яка як я тільки по телефону сказав результати сказала «а чого не 170?» дуже добра "підтримка" 🥰🥰🥰
Чесно, було найгірші відчуття були коли інша людина ніколи історією не цікавилась, і тут за рік вивчила предмет, і отримала 170-180, а ти 7 років вчив «воду» в книжках історії, писав контрольні на відмінно, проєкти, практичні роботи, презентації писав до ночі, а особливо я, любив на весь урок розказувати, вчительці дуже подобалось, вот думаю, на що час, сон тратив.
Не жаліюсь на свої бали, як кажуть в народі «що посієш то пожнеш»
P .S. Англійська якщо що 145, а не 195 то я так на швидку руку писав.
Here is the only Toyota Crown of the S41 generation in Ukraine. The car was in the same hands in Odessa for more than 40 years! And it was bought back in the days of the USSR in Leningrad in 1985 from the wife of a sailor of a nuclear submarine who died of radiation sickness: due to a radiation leak on the ship! The car was actively used until 2016: at one time it was even driven in the Baltics and the same Leningrad.
Under the hood there is an inline 4-cylinder 1.9-liter Toyota 3R engine with a capacity of 90 horsepower. As you can see from the photo: this is the export version of the Toyota Crown 3 with left-hand drive: such cars were once supplied to Europe. This copy is quite well preserved in its original factory condition and without any special collective farm: an excellent blank for restoration and just a beautiful exhibit.

Archive photos of one of the first car dealerships in Ukraine that sold foreign cars have been found!
This is the very beginning of the 90s: somewhere in 1991 or 1992. In the pictures, we see three Ford Tauruses of the first generation, a Chevrolet Beretta, a Jeep Wrangler, a Cadillac Seville, a Cadillac Deville, a Chevrolet Caprice and even a Pontiac Trans Sport minivan. Buyers who previously knew only Volgas, Zhiguli and Muscovites are clearly shocked by this choice of the "Americans"
In the late 90s and early 2000s the Odesa company "Avant" brought a whole batch of fresh Toyota Supras with right-hand drive from Japan. And although at that time there was already an official ban on registering cars with right-hand drive, Odessans somehow managed to import such cars and even register them.
In those years, the Supra model did not yet have a cult status and in Japan such cars were relatively cheap.
Interestingly, almost all copies (of those in the photo) in one form or another have survived to this day and periodically appear on sale for crazy prices. Most of the cars are far from stock, and have survived accidents, tuning, races and other kinds of abuse.
By the way, in those years, Avant employees came to various automotive events in
Odesa in these "Supras": it was a very cool marketing move
