It’s easily the most loved or hated car in Kenya right now. Those who
own it love its efficiency while those who hate it think it should be in
a landfill somewhere.
A Probox is used for virtually everything;
carrying cattle food, taxi, carrying furniture, smuggling illegal
immigrants etc. Its most documented use however is as a ‘matatu’. That
small car is known to fit more than 14 people, and that’s why the owners
love them.
In related news, this Probox owner in Meru loves his
so much that he gave it a complete make over. A Vigo bull bar, Turbo
breather, blind spot side mirror a mercedes like Toyota logo on the
bonnet, and of course some weed emblem on the headlamps.
