Do Cuban Cars Run any Better?

I don't know if they run better or not but when you see pictures and videos from Cuba there are always cars from the 50's and 60's everywhere so they must last a lot longer!

They just can't afford to import new cars and must keep what they have running. If you check out the ruling class, they are running new cars.

And some of them will have parts from Russian tanks, Chinese forklifts, etc, keeping them running.

There's a "ruling class" in Cuba? NOOOOO!!!!!!?????? I thought it was the perfect society! Even their fearless former leader congratulated us on our health care "progress."

It works so well there. Hey Carlos, is it time to send another package of aspirin, tylenol, and antibiotics over yet?

Paul, if we sneak in and act the part, I bet we could be Generales. Huh? whaddya think? Pleeeease?
