    ничего себе

    У меня хороший друг употребляющий почасту выражение: ничего себе!
    Это показывает одобрение (e.g. well done, no bad) или удивление (говоришь серьезно?)?
    Чем больше слов, тем меньше они стоят.

    That's context dependent. More about being surprised though.
    I do not claim that my opinion is absolutely true.
    If you've spotted any mistake in my English, please, correct it. I want to be aware of any mistakes to efficiently eliminate them before they become a habit.

    Example:
    - Yesterday my boss called me in his office and told me that he will give me a raise for my priceless contribution to the completion of the current project of our company!
    - Ничего себе!

    Correct?
    Are there other synonyms for this type of answer (that shows pleasant suprise)!

    Correct

    As for the synonyms, one that immediately comes to mind is "вот это да!"

    BTW, "Уазик" mentioned several times means the car:
