Cuban cars

During my last visit to Havana, one Cuban told me he had 4 spare engines in storage for a very rare car (forget the make and model). Obviously, they have had a black market due to the embargo and are very ingenious and economically conservative. All nations have been welcomed as visitors and tourists for many years now, even US citizens who fly in from neighboring countries. They are very clever at genuine restoring, not just replacing 90% of the car with new, NOS, and reproduction parts like we do. Our "restorations" are many times "rebuilds" more than anything else. Their wages over there amount to about $25 a month, but a taxi drivers can take advantage of visitors. One charged me $5 and the next charged me $30 for the same ride. Entrance to a semi-professional baseball playoff game costs one cuban peso (about a nickel US) and in place of hot dogs the vendors at the stadium sell ham and cheese sandwiches. One thing they have in common with us at the ball games are some beautiful women.
