Comesola
A backhoe or excavator. This nickname originated in the late 1990s during the construction of major tunnels in Santo Domingo under the PLD party government. Party members were nicknamed 'comesolos' (literally 'those who eat alone', referring to a reputation for keeping government perks to themselves), and the name was eventually applied to the heavy machinery used in their signature infrastructure projects.
They are using two comesolas to build the tunnel on Nunez Avenue.
