From the Department of Locally Appropriate Transportation

On a listserve that functions as classified ads for mzungus and upper class Rwandans in Kigali, someone recently advertised a car for rent:

Rent RAV 4 FOR $80 PER DAY. we accept rent this cars only 10days and more. Rent new Brand Grand Vitar, 2008 for 120$ per day….Buy and rent quickly

Which garnered this response, from a Rwandan (judging by the name, which I have not asked for permission to share):

ridiculous. For $80 you can rent me and i will run you all around town in a rickshaw. For $120 i’ll run you around on my back.
