Man, Jeepney trucks,

I remember seeing them when I visited Clark AFB in '82. Big misconception is they are actual jeeps, when in fact they are made from just about anything.

Filipinos can make anything out of anything or nothing as the case maybe. I saw a lot of Nissan Diesels in them, but i think they use anything that runs

Very true, necessity being the rule of thumb when you can't afford to buy the stuff you need. I imagine things are much different now. There was a thriving economy in black market goods coming from the Base. A lot of stuff in the markets still had the BX price tags or NSN's marked on them Rolling Eyes
