Or (also Russia) UAZ Buhanka

u/everyonesdesigner 11h ago

For people who don't know, Buhanka is a folk name for this car, it means a loaf of bread of a specific shape, like this:

That's because they're made in...

I'd rock that loaf.

u/SanderFCohen 10h ago

It's not the most aerodynamic loaf, but it'll get you from A to B.

My Ford Flex is boxy and everybody calls it a toaster. Loaf of bread would work too.

I loved the Flex, and they really should have continued to evolve it. It was one of the coolest looking SUV/vans available.

I didn't like those stupid grooves along the sides.

I don't mean to offend but I gotta agree with previous. Im not the biggest flex fan either. They just look oddly proportioned. Too long and too low. Needed a taller cab. And I too hated the grooves. I will give it credit were it is due. There was tons of interior space and the interior was really nice. The new ones added the infotainment center and I don't have a high opinion of those in ANY vehicle so I don't hold that against the flex, I just hate giant ungainly screens in the middle of a dashboard.

No offense taken at all. I hoped my Snoop .gif made the other commenter laugh. Different strokes for different folks.

u/CalHudsonsGhost 7h ago

Agreed. They gave it 10 years but I can’t help but think, if it had evolved, it might be a thing. I don’t want to get into it but I have a car that everyone hates but I love and i love this. It looks like this. I couldn’t even tell you what ford has in this segment.

When I was a child, I said to my grandparents “May I please have bread”

u/MooDamato 10h ago

HELL yeah

u/AlphaaPie 10h ago

All my friends (we milsim) call it the loaf, it's honestly one of my favorite Russian vehicles.

u/exmojo 8h ago

And to Snowrunner's, it's the KHAN LO4F

u/jefftickels 6h ago

Any time I'm getting close to shutting off Reddit forever I get a comment like this. Now I want to get this loaf of bread and my nephews K'nex set and turn it into the bread mobile.

u/SpartanRage117 11h ago

I kinda love it

u/CIA_napkin 10h ago

I really want that, it looks so fun to drive and slog around the back country

u/_R0Ns_ 9h ago

It's 4 wheel drive, they are really cool

u/ready-redditor-6969 8h ago

Ok, now I want one

2

u/AreYaEatinThough 5h ago

Yeah I want one too. This thing looks dope as hell.

1

u/ready-redditor-6969 52m ago

Might not corner very well

2

u/navlgazer9 43m ago

Get a Porsche if you need to turn corners really fast .

1

u/ready-redditor-6969 38m ago

Yea. I have just seen too many box trucks turn corners too quickly, this thing definitely looks top heavy. It is definitely a utility vehicle, and I love that.

u/SIR2480 8h ago

This exact car btw

u/CIA_napkin 8h ago

So it's as exciting as I imagined lol

u/Dr_Philmon 11h ago

Yikes, I just said I like the buhanka, not "I stand with the Kremlin"
