The mayor of Vilnius, Lithuania was so upset with luxury cars parking in the city's bicycle lanes he held a demonstration to express his displeasure — using a troop carrier to crush a junked Mercedes W140, just like the Soviets used to. UPDATE.


Mayor Arturas Zuokas said he learned how to drive the Soviet BTR to send a message: "I want to point that if you have a car and more money (it) does not mean that you can park it everywhere," he said. How very un-American.

UPDATE: We now have video of the drive, and several shots of the Ferraris and other exotics that put Mayor Zuokas into a crushing mood.
