OK OK OK
An the winner is.........Michael!!!!
you are absolutely right:
1st point: locale: the car is an old Lada, the registration plate is partly visible and it is definitely and positively Russia
2nd point: as per the description found on the original website, that apparently WAS a diesel engine car. So the outcome was not tragic... However, I am sure that this lady didn't know the difference between burning points of the diesel and normal petrol (gas)
,
so, as the result she can still (thankfully) compete for the "dumbest queen" trophy
