You mean that collection of 1950’s beaters they run in Cuba with bailing wire and spit?
But, credit to them - those cars are running.
Ingenuity at its finest!

Desperation. It’s that are tow them with donkeys.
That is similar to Toyota and Nissan/Datsun 4WD pickup trucks in third world countries.
In 1999 I bought a new Toyota Tacoma. I advertised and sold my 1988 Toyota for $2500.
I had two guys call that wanted to know if it would pass inspection. Of course, I said to both. The first one wished me luck and have a nice day. The second guy I inquired as to why he asked. He stated that if it would not pass inspection he would still buy it for $1000 and ship it to Central America. He could fit four into a container and would sell them down there for a good profit. He also stated there were other guys that shipped to Asia and did the same thing.
So, when the US invaded Afghanistan what do I see but a bunch of guys with turbans riding around in old Toyota pick up trucks with a machine gun in back. This led me to proudly proclaim:
Toyota Tacoma: Official Vehicle of the Taliban.
