Looks like the Philippines isn’t going to get this month’s shipment of 2nd hand cars.
insurance money anyone?
There was a TV news story a while back about an Iraqi guy who bought used cars and exported them to Iraq. I think he was based in Incheon, and the story above makes me wonder if it is his business that was involved.
In any case, whoever’s business it is, I hope he/she makes a quick recovery.
That’s a big loss, for sure. Like Flyingsword, my cynicism alert went off immediately.
However, it’s still a shame and a big hassle to clean up.
Sympathy for the business owner and the cleanup crew.
Setnaffa – It could be that the Philippines will get those cars after all. Instead of 2nd-hand running autos, they’ll just sell them for the scrap metal value.
Well, that’s a good market, too!!
Just think how many KG9 lower receivers and magazines can be made with all those cars hoods!
CH, they’ll be grinding them into ploughshares because the norks don’t need any more weapons…
@TOK, in Afghanistan I saw plenty of used vehicles in operation still with stenciling in hangul on them from various businesses and even some for Christian churches that had sold them off to whatever dealer got them to Afghanistan.
GI, I too, in Kabul found many vehicles like what you described, but what really caught my attention was the number of cars from the U.S. that still maintained stateside LP and one in particular. It still had its base sticker from a stateside military base on its windshield.
