Shortly after coming to power in 1959, Cuba's communist government led by Fidel Castro banned imports on both foreign cars and car parts. One of the inevitable effects of this policy was the deep-freeze of Cuba's cars scene. https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/motoring/is-this-the-end-of-the-road-for-cubas-classic-cars-a7570636.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only the government is allowed to import cars. And for government only use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spin_dry Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 The claim that someone is envious of the rich is usually the howling of a narcissist. It’s best to ignore it, or at least use it for a chuckle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could probably look at the same comparison here between the suburban neighborhood population and the inner city projects people. I wonder though, which may be more stressful? One life style is easier to achieve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
