what kind of car was this? (NMC)

Does anyone know what this car is/was? It seems pretty sturdy.

I also noticed that it was white, where there is still sheet metal left.

I was wondering if Leon could do an equation of the benefits of the
photon effect versus the fact that the roof now acts as a wind brake.
(Or sail, I guess, if you have a tail wind). :-)

Pat

you're sooooooo bad!

cute car, I zoomed and couldn't make a positive ID!

I'd have named the file "amazingcar" that sucker is still running!

He should have zigged when he zagged!!!

Wonder if the driver survived that encounter?

At first I thought that Leon was taking a tour of the Middle East, but
then I saw it was too big to be his miata.

I want to know what kind of car it is because I want one. If it can take
that kind of abuse, it should drive forever for me! ;-)

After carefully studying the picture, I believe that it is a damaged
kind of car.

People often underestimate how much faster white cars really are.
Especially in Iraq where the sunlight is so strong.

Maybe, but you will get a lot of sand in your eyes if you do not
put in a new windshield.

I don't know for sure Pat, but it looks like they picked it up at a
local "TARGET" ! The front is not damaged so, I know it wasn't
"WALL"-MART :-) My son said he saw a lot of Toyotas around the
"TARGET"s he put 500 Lb bombs into !

You get the groaner award! ;-)

What is it with Toyota trucks in the Middle East? It seems like primary
vehicle in almost every piece of news footage that I see.

That must be a very powerful feeling, dropping bombs on targets from an
airplane in a country with no air power that can not possibly reach you
from the ground.

War is supposed to be FAIR?

Spoiling for an argument?

Well, since almost nobody is talking about miatas today, I'll go ahead
and answer.

I wasn't even putting his son, or any other pilots down, just pointing
out the difference between what is being done now, where the worst thing
a high-flying bomber has to worry about is mechanical problems with his
aircraft because the enemy can not possibly hit him, compared to WWII,
where our bombers were shot down with regularity because we did not have
complete superiority in the air.
I know that if I was in Iraq, I would far rather be in a bomber than in
a ground vehicle.

Finally, if the current situation is what we are talking about, I
wouldn't call it war, I would call it a crime against the world that our
current administration should be held responsible for to the highest
degree for initiating.

You shouldn't have, this place has been relatively free of political
crap until now, let's keep it that way.
