Cuba's Soviet cars just keep rolling along

Decades of communist rule and a U.S. trade embargo have turned Cuba into a nation of mechanics. Classic cars which would be museum pieces in most countries are still going strong. Considered out-of-date at home, old Soviet cars are getting a second wind in Cuba.

@NiggaRussia

You cannot say the "n" phrase or word if not originating from a darker skin color as this is highly offensive amongst many groups of people. Presuming you are simply a Russian citizen who is not from the UnitedStatesOfAmerica then please refrain from doing so as you are given no right to use this "n" phrase.

Cuba is just one big stuck in the 50s theme park where the "amusement park employees" are not acting. The tourists love this shit because they come, see how they live, enjoy the "simplicity" for the day, then head back to their expensive resorts and eventually back home to their 1st world lives, while the "amusement park employees" simply have to continue putting on the show for the next cruise ship, all under the delight of Mr Walt Castro himself.
