Slimy red car found oozing on Russian city street
We've seen badly-painted cars before, some with store-bought spray cans and even some painted with brushes. But we've never, EVER, seen one painted with, um, what is that? Stucco? Bondo applied with a shovel-wielding 6-year-old? And, possibly more important, what WAS that? A Renault? Going to the source (careful, link NSFW for some) of these photos didn't really help much, either. Not only was there little accompanying text, but it's all in (surprise!) Russian.
We look forward to hearing our readers' comments on this one, and would be very interested to hear from anyone who might have insight into this lumpy car's slimy background. And, yes, we know some of the other off-color things it might resemble, but let's keep things family-friendly.

I also can not understand what the author of that paintjob could have had on his/her mind when creating such a monstrosity. But underneath that beast seems to be a piece of Russian car design at its (not so) finest: it's either a VAZ-2115 or its predecessor, a VAZ-21099.

It looks like it was covered with expanding foam and then painted with red spray paint

It's Lada 21099: an "upscale" sedan based on the 5-door 2109 hatchback by just adding an ugly trunk, which in turn is an "upscale" trim of 1985 "revolutionary" (for the glorious Avtoprom that is) 3-door 2108: the original "Samara". Even after standard 0.5 liter (per person) Russians are too practical to do it to a relatively expensive import car like Renault.

According to South Park, it came from Hillary Clinton's snizz. That would explain everything.

There's explanation in one of comments at fishki.net.
galiy: "This car belongs to the boss' chauffeur from the office next door.
Guys told me that he wanted to sell his Lada, but once, when he was drunk, he covered it with expanding foam and then painted with red spray paint. Now he decided not to sell it"
(My supposition: he can't find a buyer and is lazy to tear off the foam)

It's the "New Adobe!" Older SNL fans will know exactly what I'm talking about.
