Brezhnev had something like 23 Mercedes and other fine, fine cars. Nixon even gave him one. In Haldeman's Diaries it is related that Nixon and Kissinger went racing around Camp David w/Comrade Brezhnev (and didn't the Czechs enjoy his Doctrine of non-existent sovereignity?) with Brezhnev at the wheel. B was going 90. Too bad he didn't crash. Three war criminals dead.
