You don’t have to be Bruce Wayne to buy “The Black Crow” (as it’s known) but it’s still not exactly cheap. For $35,000 you could become a crime-fighting vigilante on the streets of the Kazakh city of Karaganda (batsuit not included).

A house on wheels? The Russian who designed this “motorhome” had his own ideas. It may look a little clumsy but it’s surprisingly spacious inside: Three beds, a table, and even an iron stove. No toilet sadly, but you can’t have everything.

Nobody would believe that this monster was once a Chevrolet Lumina, a modest and comfortable family car. It has taken on a new lease of life as a huge, six-wheeled truck, capable of transporting heavy cargo along those infamous, potholed Russian roads. The price is also surprising - only $1,500.
