Vlad and his wife were driving home from Vladivostok, where they had collected a newly bought car,

Yowza. Can we assume from the location that it was a used car from Japan? How badly is the Russian economy fucked when it's more economical to fly and then drive almost 10,000km to get a car, rather than buy one closer to St. Petersburg?

I'm thinking Vlad may also just be a magnet for bad life decisions.

"This is just like the time you flew halfway across the country to buy a car during a fucking fuel crisis, Vlad!" will be added to the long list of things his wife's had to put up with.
