Kim Jong Il is dead... Post the cars of North Korea to celebrate Dear Leader and the Juche idea!

[NoDubJustYet]

Or he'll be indecisive, weak, and amenable to playing ball with China and the US.

I hope you're right.

So, how do North Koreans immortalize their fair leaders? Is he getting pickled or what?

[Yo Teach]

No better time for the USA to invade another country during leadership transition for the "good of democracy."

But they don't have that many natural resources to exploit...

[NoDubJustYet]

But they don't have that many natural resources to exploit...

Isn't that why nations go to war? You know, to protect trade routes, resources, valuable allies, etc...

[Hajduk]

Why do they have so many Mercedes? Where are they getting them from?

1982

[Turq]

I hope you're right.

If they treat him like Kim Il-Sung, then yep. Lenin-style embalming and glass coffin for your viewing pleasure.

Shipping my car to N. Korea tommorrow

Woah, hold off on signing that waybill yet, son. Reportedly, even though deserted and barely-used, what few major highways NK has were constructed in the 70's and haven't seen a lick of maintenance since, so they are a bumpy, cracked, potholed mess.

[Marcao]

I thought this was an ad for the special olympics at first...

Fiat Siena 1.6 16v 106cv.. in Brazil since 1997.. and still selling face lifted.. of course..

[Turbio!]

I hope you're right.

Kimchi or Kim Jong?

KIMCHEE IS PEOPLE!

[NoDubJustYet]

KIMCHEE IS PEOPLE!

LMFAO

[glorentz]

So THIS is how I learn of important world events now?

I am the same way. Sad

[WagonHatch]

And a missile is shot; to show they aren't weakened.

[CTCORRADOKID]

Oh, to keep this car related, there was a pic floating around of a late model Mini Cooper S JCW with the full factory aero kit running around N. Korea.

[DrewSXR]

North Korea is truly fascinating for me. It is something to be completely cut off from the world in this day and age.

Very interesting to see how this unfolds in the coming months

A must watch if you haven't seen it yet:

I just spent 20 mins of my day watching and re-watching that. I don't even want those mins back.

I applaud you.

he is not amused by this thread...


^^^ Next North Korea next big shot - Kim Jong Un. Btw, he born in 1984, which means he is only 27. He is already a 4 star general.

This thread disappointed me... every dictator should have at least one Mercedes 600 pullman

yes his father made him a 4star general he didnt earn crap

lets remember kim jong il is also the same guy who claimed that he shot like a 19 on his first time golfing EVER

saying he is a 4 star general is a joke he only graduated anything because of who he is he hasnt had to do a damn thing since he was born, i have a feeling if he tries anything with a bigger country he will get CRUSHED

Don't you know? Legend has it that when he throws rocks, they turn into nades.

This is pretty funny. It's like the world's most interesting social experiment ever. The mass hysteria/fake crying is amazing.

its so sad, they have to cry for fear of being killed its like they all have stockholm syndrome

[03GTI4Me]

North Korea is interesting to read about.

Ever hear about the Ryungyong Hotel? One of the tallest in the world when it was built. Never opened, never occupied and if I recall correctly, almost bankrupted the North Korean regime.

Kim himself even had the hotel removed from official photos of Pyongyang for a time as it was such an eyesore (Before being covered in glass in 2010ish)

Why a country who allows so few visitors needed such a huge hotel is beyond me.

Oh and a car in N. Korea

[TM87]

Well he troops are out of Iraq,so.......
Let spread democracy like xmas joy.

This commercial is perfect...they had me going in the beginning. I wonder what they're really saying. It's actually probably not far off..

This (along with the 105 story hotel) is just freaking nuts...(and would make an awesome autocross lot)

[cockerpunk]

So THIS is how I learn of important world events now?

thats OK i learned about it from Jim Gaffagan's FB posts.

i also learn most major world events from 4chan.

life rocks.

Id be rich if I lived in North Korea.

I don't think so.... you might be someone's.... rhymes with rich....

car content... kind of....

[VadGTI]

So THIS is how I learn of important world events now?

Yeaaaaaah. I was thinkin' the same thing. Sad.

Hey, TCL is faster than light speed when it comes to news. I don't pay much attention to important events, but TCL always manages to incorporate them into some sort of entertaining car related thread within milliseconds of such occurrence.

I am the same way. Sad

Alternatively, you can all PM me your addresses and for the next world-changing event, I will dress up as a 1920's paper boy, complete with ascot cap, scarf and ripped coat, arrive at your home and yell "Extra! Extra! Read all about it!" while waving a current newspaper around.
