    Mirage is ready for the apocalypse

    Ran across this picture in the NYT today. Picture taken in Khartoum, Sudan within the last day or so. It certainly looks like our favorite little car.

    Looks a 1st gen "mail slot" Mirage. Sudan tested and approved!

    Looks like a Toyota Yaris or related. Truly, the best car ever made.

    I remember Toyota hating the fact that there are hilux(es?) with machine guns mounted and running like it's in normal habitat.
