Default Gadhafi's entourage drives Lexus

If you go to CNN.com and watch the video at the front page, under "Rebels show the world", in the beginning of the video the reporter was showing cars the rebels claimed and stripped from Gadhafi's compound and behold, there is a white 2nd gen IS

Land Cruisers are VERY popular in a lot of foreign countries. I'm not surprised at all though, those things are beasts!!! Mini tanks

2nd gen IS though? Wonder if it was modded. J/k

Just shows that even if a person is a murdering and oppressive piece of trash he can still enjoy a reliable well made luxury vehicle

If he flees out into the Libyan desert (as some think he might) to escape the advancing rebels, that's probably what he will need.....either a 4Runner/GX470 or a Land Cruiser/LX570.

What is interesting, he can drive around like this and no one would shoot him (back then). Yet if the Pope would try and do that, someone would shoot him within minutes.

Plus when people start talking about the Rothschilds. They just turn me off their stupid cause or whatever they were talking about and I brand them another nut-job.

Anyways, that is many Land Cruisers I wonder if any landed up on Libyan craigslist
