And is going through Russia really that dangerous? I think it's a bunch of hype, people drive through South America and Africa all the time and arrive alive. I can't imagine Russia being much different.


If you can blend in(white), it doesn't sound like much of a problem....if you can't, I've been assured by Russians, Violence and robbery are not outliers on a trip to Russia....

I'd be more worried about driving in Siberia and abandoned parts of Russia.

Sounds better suited to an SUV.....Even Gangwon-do is a pain in the ass to drive through....let alone some abandoned road in the frozen Siberian wastes...good luck finding toyota car parts let alone anybody who can rescue you.

Also, if your car stalls on a road.....creates a long traffic jam.....well, in some cases they wait for authoriaties(China)...Africa, they(locals) strip the car down while the owner watches and then traffic resumes....who the hell knows in Siberia....

Ewan Mcgregor did it on a BMW motorcycle and made a TV show about it....watch it.
