While the cars transformed in Pimp My Ride are all about form, it's nice to see some people still modifying their cars for function.

Here we have a classic Cold-War-era Zaporozhets, modified to make life in the rural Russian winter a little easier.

(Side note: the Zaporozhets, a Soviet car in production from 1958 in the Ukraine, was the VW Beetle of Russia and rather ahead of its time; different models had features designed for the disabled, such as all of the pedals being replaced with hand-only controls. These models were reportedly given to disabled war vets, for free, by the Soviet government.)
