I got into a taxi and he asked me to guess how long he had it. I could not but it looked aged. He had it for 25 years, and how much does an old one cost? About 300,000 Kenya shillings I told him that in Kenya, I would give him shs 50,000 and even at that time, it would be a huge favor.
But for some reason, the cars are well maintained, they dont smoke or make lots of noise like some of the junks on our roads, I guess the service is well done.

That’s a Russian Lada. I took many of them as taxis in my Russia days. I always love to see the old Soviet trading partners still using Russian gear. It’s hardy and lasts forever with decent maintenance.
