“You foreigners spend your money by going dancing or bowling. We invest in what is useful,” Bakhter said

Trusty car of Afghan people and weapon of choice for Taliban

Imagining some guy with an RPG slung over his shoulder talking to the camera. In the background, a Corolla swerves around the corner and down the street, machines gun blazing....

"See...? Excellent handling!"

For car bombs, take out the motor and seats first. Use a donkey to haul the car to it's final destination. Thrifty AND evil.

Photo' caption is wrong, "Various makes of Toyota Corollas"; Toyota is the Make, Corolla is the Model so the caption should discuss Variants or Types.

Hard to argue with that.

No: 1 selling car in the world and it would have to be the best car in the world, comparable to a modern day Ford T perhaps.

And the taliban loved the toyota hilux too , throw a anti aircraft gun or large calibre machine gun on the back they have a military vehicle.
