Sukhoi OKB is a Russian aircraft design bureau-turned corporation based in Moscow. It was started in 1939 by Pavel Sukhoi, but didnt really make a mark until the cold war. Up until the 1970s, most sukhoi aircraft were ugly as hell and unremarkable performers that were also cheap, easy to maintain, and pretty rugged. Currently Sukhoi pretty much dominates the Russian Fighter craft industry, with their Su-27"Flanker" and all its countless derivatives. It also helps that Sukhoi corp has pretty heavy political connections. Theyre expected to produce a new fighter called the PAK-FA for Russia and India in the next few years.
Sukhoi aircraft include the
Su-7 Fitter
Su-22
Su-24 Fencer
Su-25 Frogfoot
Su-27 Flanker
Su-37 Terminator
Su-47 Berkut

Here's a fun game. Drive a silver Toyota Corolla or Camry to a shopping mall, and have a friend move it to a different parking spot. Then try finding it.
Mabye ricers who trick out their family toyotas are on to something. You need altezza style taillights and huge wings just to tell the damned things apart!

Literally "storm bird" in Russian. Short for Bronirovannyi Shturmovik(Armored Attack Aircraft: storm bird).
"Shturmovik" is a generic term for heavily-armored attack aircraft in Soviet service. The most famous of which is the legendary Ilyushin Il-2, a flying tank from WW2.
Although the Soviets pioneered the concept of armored anti-tank aircraft, Sturmovik development fizzled out for most of the cold war, when they focused on fast fighter-bombers like the MiG-27. Eventually, the concept was reborn when the Sukhoi Su-25 entered service in the 1980s.

75% of late model Toyota Corollas(many Camrys too) have a huge superficial dent in the rear bumper, consistent with backing into a post.
Although such dents are common among cars with new drivers(who often drive corollas), it might as well be a factory option.

Thank goodness I already have a Corolla Dent! Now I won't feel so bad when I bang up my car for the first time.

An automobile component that can be found in virtually every car, foreign or domestic. Invented by Mortimer Ford(Henry Ford's illegitimate half brother or something), the hydroscillator's only known function is to allow vehicles to drive themselves in a semi-sentient manner. Although hydroscillator design varies, they are usually a fist-sized cylindrical device with two wires sticking out.
Featured on the ABC network expose' "When Cars Attack!"

Mechanic: "Well see here's your problem; your blinker fluid lines burst and shorted out the hydroscillator. While I was checking, I saw that your muffler bearings and flux capacitor needed replacing."

Something that the world needs that's decades overdue and would be fucking awesome should it ever happen...but probably wont due various reasons. Examples include:
1. DUH! Democracy in Red China. Every time they seem to make progress, shit like big mama(commie internet censorship system) and tienamen square happen.
2. That one Eponymous Guns N' Roses album that Axl has been working on for like twenty years.
In hindsight, probably the absolute most (unintentionally?) genius album title ever.
