The Black Volga

I came across this interesting story on hauntevehicles.com, and it shouldn't surprise me that there is a haunted vehicle out there in the world. We have haunted houses, dolls, roads, even clothing.

The story takes place in the 1960s and 1970s Soviet Union during a time when life was lived in constant fear, the Cold War was looming, and the government was failing. But, another fear struck the people of the Soviet Union, a mythical, legendary vehicle that evoked sheer terror at the very mention of it: The Black Volga.

The Black Volga was well known across the nation as stories were whispered and imaginations aroused. Even to this day, no one knows who was driving the high-end limousine. Some believed it was driven by a priest or nuns, while others believed that it was driven by Satan worshippers or even the devil himself. Regardless of the mystery, when the Black Volga appeared, bad things happened.

The sleek car was a very high-end limousine with white curtains and rims, and it would appear to manifest from nowhere. At times the side mirrors were actually horns. When it was seen, many reports show children missing, and many theorized the vehicle had something to do with it. If anyone were brave enough to challenge the sinister Volga, they would be dead within 24 hours. Why the vehicle picked children as its prey no one is sure, no one was ever able to get close enough and live to tell the tale. But one thing is for certain, nothing could stop it.

The legend of the Black Volga spread through Mongolia, Belarus, Ukraine, Poland, and Russia. An interesting side note is seeing that this type of vehicle was the most lavish and expensive available at the time it was typically driven and/or owned by the Communist Party and Soviet political officials who thrived on the fears of their country’s people.

Classic Automobile Features in You Won't See in Modern Cars

  Classic Features Classic Features in Cars You Won’t See Today Who knows what kids will reminisce about years from now about their first car. Heck, there’s a chance vehicle won’t run on gasoline anymore, and that is something they will look back on and find nostalgic. Vehicles can start with the push of a button on your keychain, you can open the hatchback with the swipe of your foot, and heated seats (my personal favorite) are just a few features you can find in cars today. Here are a few classic features you won’t see today but were the best. Oldies and Goodies One of my favorites, bench seats. For some reason, I always thought they were fun as a kid, but looking back now, I realize how horrible they really were. Being squished between two adults was actually uncomfortable during long rides. I guess as a kid, you feel the front seat was larger than it really was, and sometimes you had it all to yourself- that’s fun. I’m sure several teenage boys took advantage of the seat design...

A Few Facts About the Ford Motor Company

Ford Motor Company The Ford Motor Company has seen it all since Henry Ford opened the Ford Motor Company in 1902. From producing vehicles for the public to helping with military equipment, going through some rough times in the past, and to some financial problems. The company has proven to be a brand that plans on sticking around for a long time. Here are a few interesting facts that many have not worked out and some that we still see today. Ford Facts Ford was the first company to manufacture and sell cars. Their first model, the Model A, sold for $850 and only hit a max speed of 30 mph.  The Ford assembly line was devised after Henry Ford got the idea from a pig-slaughtering plant.  They offered better pay to their employees offering double the market average pay at $5 a day.  While the first Ford was sold in 1903 to Dr. Pfennig (Ford’s current CEO, Jim Hackett, owns it today), the iconic Ford logo was first introduced in 1907.  Many may not know that H...

Is the Future Now? Self Driving Cars

  SELF DRIVING CARS Popular Mechanics - If you were like me growing up, the future looked like an episode of The Jetsons. As a kid, I thought the future what going to bring us talking watches, self-cooking ovens that prepare entire meals, closets that dress us at the push of a button, and of course flying cars. Well, we are not that far off. At the moment there is a possibility that we will see self-driving vehicles on our roads. This possibility has been on the horizon for the past few years, as companies like Tesla and Waymo have been focused on bringing autonomous vehicles to the market. In 2017, the U.S. House passed legislation that could accelerate the development of self-driving cars by allowing them to be driven in all 50 states. The Safely Ensuring Lives Future Deployment and Research In Vehicle Evolution Act (SELF DRIVE) exempts automakers from some safety standards that aren't relevant to autonomous vehicles and permits selling up to 25,000 cars per year without needing ...
