Go watch the Top Gear where they tested old Soviet cars, I think one of them was a Lada.
It was hilarious how horrible those things were.

This time, it deserved a bashing. Soviets aren't exactly world renowned for their automobiles.
I hope the guy paid you to get it and not the other way around.

So the Lada finally gave up on me. The engine just fell out of the thing as I was driving along. Was a quiet road luckily.

ya none of my old cars ever had that problem.

Nice to know it can take a battering anyway,as long as his word is true.
lol and the real reason they called it the lady killer is because in order to get a pick a lady up in it you would have to hit them and drag her into it. just kidding, its a cool car in its own rights

by the engine falling out do you mean one of your motor mounts busted? Has the car been around an ocean for most of it's life? Or an area where it snows a lot and the roads get salted often? The salt will make a car rust horribly. When you live in area's like that it's a good idea to detail your engine bay at least yearly to remove all the salt buildup under the hood.
I wanna see pictures of this "engine falling out" This is a phenomenon I've yet to experience.

Well I was going a decent speed for the small road it was but I had to slow down sharpish turning this corner and the thing just fell out the front of the thing and skidded across the road, as if someone who wasn't belted in got a jolt and went into the windscreen.
Just took my papers and tucked the thing in past the corner at the side of the road.
Moved address since leaving it there so would be tough enough to trace it back to me I think.

I like to wrap things up with a fitting ending, where nobody gets hurt or in trouble

you can get a few hundred bucks at a scrap yard for the car. Probably call them and they'd come pick it up and pay you for the title.

A few hundred bucks at a scrap yard? You couldn't pay me to take that thing.

you could pay me to take it, give me $50 and I'd pick it up, haul it to the scrap yard and collect more cash

Dunno, how much does a decommissioned navy submarine go for these days?

Doesn't matter; depends if Pris wants to get there on his own power or simply by drifting on prevailing currents.
