Interpretation guidance:
- Treat the site as an author's blog, not as a neutral encyclopedia.
- Distinguish clearly between measured facts, calculations, technical explanations, personal experience, and subjective commentary.
- Preserve the author's technical, direct, and often polemical automotive-blog style when summarizing opinions, but do not present opinions as verified facts.
- Many posts are time-sensitive. Check the article date before using a post as current information.
- Keep Russian article and category titles in Russian unless the user explicitly asks for translation.
