@@jazdan223 I can't understand why the break everything man. Where I live there's lots of rich Africans. Even a 2020 model car everything is destroyed. Body panel damage does not automatically happen with age.

[@tristan6509]

​​@@AapVanDieKaapthey simply import crashed cars from other countries. Crashed cars are cheaper, and these taxi drivers don't have money to buy nice ones. They don't care as long as it doesn't hinder the functionality (eg. Crooked chassis, etc.)

[@corrolesscps]

Ja, Africa. But Africa is a continental, which country of this in the clip.

[@maksbombist3247]

What kind of bitter apocalypse am I witnessing here? Poor people, poor country, poor car... The engine is living out its last days, the left mirror is like a consumable, the interior is dead, the windshield is hanging on by a stick, acrid smoke from burning oil pours into the interior. Money for travel, like candy wrappers, carelessly flies into the door niche, because it is worth nothing. The streets are dirty and disorderly. But maybe, despite this, all people are happy? If so, then all of the above is nonsense)

Slices of life and cars, videos should be longer and more numerous 👏🏻👏🏻

[@kalatapie]

This looks like a hell on Earth. If i were there i would probably escape to the savannah in search of the tribal bushmen so i can live with them instead. Really, chasing gazelles with a spear and a bare butt seems like a better life to losing braincells in the pollution of 100s of old cars for money that can't even pay to fix the car. Either way, i am thankful for this rare insight into the daily lives of ordinary Congolese people and i acknowledge the sacrifice of the drivers who are keeping the people fed, literally bringing the food to the markets. Keep up the good work, i am loving the content. Love from Bulgaria 🇧🇬🇧🇬

[@windoak]

Congo doesn't really have bushman. They have savanna, but the people out there mostly farm for incredibly shit wages.

[@porschefanatic1049]

Congo is exploited by the white man and Congolese corrupt politicians. The amount of resources God gave Congo should allow its citizens to live a more comfortable life. Don’t be ignorant bro.

Dude that ride cost 50cents. What a difference Africa-Europe. In my country mister taximan will take 20euro for that ride

[@1marcelfilms]

How can you even afford gas with such low prices

[@nts_nathaniel]

@@1marcelfilms Petrol in Congo costs $1.5/litre. His car probably uses at least 15l/100km on average (bad roads + nonexistent car maintenance + loaded to the max), which means every kilometer costs him 23 cents in petrol. There is no way this is sustainable So my guess is stolen/smuggled petrol or some moonshine type home-made stuff

[@LOUNGELIQ]

Yes, but would you want to live there?

[@iamaparanoidandroid1]

@@nts_nathaniel Few things here: it looked like each fare was 1000CDF ($0.35) and there were about 6-7 passengers in that car (Say $2ish). Only a couple of KMs travelled so $0.70 fuel cost. = $1.35 gross profit. BUT.... if the boot badge is believed, that car was an Escort TD (diesel), and given the smoke, I would say it was running on waste oil of some sort. So the costs could be lower.

[@flopunkt3665]

Good eye! Your comment made me go to the channel and find the other Escort video. I think it's the same part installed on a different Escort. Maybe done by the same mechanic? Or it's just a regular workaround that they use in the region, and coincidentally both cars were Escorts? We may never know.
