Lithuania deals with cars parked in bike lanes.

In Soviet Russia, Lanes Park on YOU....
Lithuania used to be in the Bloc, no?
Not like I like cars (I don't), or illegal parkers (I don't), but I can't help but think it's a waste of a perfectly good car. Should just repo it then sell it at an auction, starting price is cost of towing+ticket+fees. Car gets new home, owner loses car, city gets money, residents get passable bike lanes.

Well, this could have been staged somewhat. I'm sure the city bought the guy a new car, and I'm sure he (or no one else) will do that again. Regardless, this video is so full of win, I can't stand it.

"Staged somewhat"? The car was brought in especially to make the video. The "car owner"'s unconvincing performance was scripted.
I suspect it wasn't even a functional car. When Hollywood needs to show a car being destroyed, I understand they normally buy a totaled car from a junk yard and fix up the exterior so it looks good enough for the shoot. It's rarely necessary to destroy a working car.
Memorable video, nonetheless.

Go figure... I enjoyed my fantasy better. Some things are worth over-thinking (or over-Googling) to me.
