RE: Which TF member's car is this???

The huge increase in wealth among the Russian business-tycoon class spurred a giant "arms race" in yachts. A co-worker who did a project in Moscow told me that there are rows of gigantic yachts lining the river that runs through Moscow (Volga?). They were built for the new class of mega-rich businessmen for the sole purpose of outdoing their neighbors. He was told the yachts never actually go anywhere, they are just proof of the owner's wealth and power.
