Wow. From wikipedia:
"LadaCanada started importing in 1979. The first model was the Lada 2106, with a 1500 cc engine. Later, the Lada Niva, a 1.6L 4x4 Lada, did very well, with over 12,000 sold the first year. In the mid-1990s Lada were selling around 12,000 cars per year in Canada.[2] Lada disappeared from Canada after the 1998 model year"

For me, today, when/if I get time I'll continue running-down source of intermittent electrical failure causing "false" O2 and VSS DTC codes to light up every once in a while.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
