yeah... they supposedly manufacture all their cars over there through iran khordro. every peugeot, paykan, nissan, etc... is made over there from the engine up. the only cars that aren't are the bmw's, mercedes, opels, and vw's. and because of that they are almost twice the price that they are here. or at least i've been told.

i'll search for more pics... but it was hard to take them because police officers can arrest you for any reason over there. my cousin's friend got beaten and arrested for having a mohawk. and my cousin got her camera broken for taking pictures of police officers. so i had to be careful.

here is a pic of a renault i ran into a couple times.

nope! i can't take credit for that picture.... it is real, but i didn't take that one. all the rest are mine though

btw.... THE MOST COMMON ENGINE WAS THE 240. i saw it in both the E class and C class. and i almost never saw engines more than 350. even S class was 350.

Aren't the Blue police cars the government, and the Green ones the religious police?

nice to know the neither the government nor the citizens seem to be hurting for money. I see oil revenues are healthy

Wow, are they shooting at infidels?
Wacked out, Allah worshiping, crack smoking, man hating, US hating, beeotches, with guns in Mercedes wearing veils.
I wonder if she's single?
