   This old German-made Mercedes is going to India as a trade-in on a shiny American model. Some 60 (men), moving to the rhythm of a chant, balance it on long poles.

   Trail looks fine, their problem is they don’t have any wheels taps head

   60 Nepalese men form the first towing and repo company. Costs you 13 sheep or marriage to your first-born daughter and a half-acre of land to release the vehicle.

   vehicles supposed to carry people
