To be fair I can see the projector beams behind those plastic bottles. Maybe the outer lenses were stolen, possibly broken somehow and they’re waiting to get the car repaired but still need to drive it. The bottoms are cut out of the plastic bottles. It appears to be a fairly new VW SUV, not exactly a poor person’s car.

The others are just people who can’t afford a proper repair. Back in the day they’d have used baling wire and duct tape, literally, which is where the saying came from, “held together with baling wire and duct tape” because it was.

Getting parts for a newish VW SUV in a Russian village ain’t easy. Or cheap.
