It probably is still running somewhere in Asia or Central America. True story. I am on my third Toyota Tacoma(89, 99, 2012). When I sold the 1989, I had two guys that wanted to buy it and ship it overseas. One shipped them to Central America and South America. The other one shipped them to Asia. These guys were only interested in Toyotas and Nissan/Datsuns. Nothing else. They were also primarily interested in trucks that would not pass inspection in the US due to rust/frame issues. They told me they loaded them in containers and would sell them for triple the price in those markets.
Not long after that, the war in Afghanistan broke out. You would see on the news bunches of guys riding around in our pickups with a machine gun mounted in the back. This led me to go on Zazzle and make a bumper sticker that said:
TOYOTA TACOMA
Official Vehicle of the Taliban
Some people did not see the humor in that bumper sticker. Some thought it was hilarious. I figured that some folks just do not have a sense of humor.
Well, if my Datsun ended up as a MG platform, I certainly hope a Hawkeye took it out many years ago, along with about a half dozen Muslims.
