i am so amused rite now ... if you were the driver, and you hit something, what in your head says keep going?

also:

Russian vehicles are LHD, but there are a lot of RHD imports, particularly in the eastern part.

Looks like it missed the front shock tower and just had to pierce the thin firewall, then travel down the side of the skin and out the rear tail light.

Overall it seems to have found the path of least resistance. Everywhere I see the pole at seems like it rode through empty space and down the hollow skin.
