Perfect timing..... What an ideal place for Obama's new home. He can continue playing the part of dictator and pretending that he is important to the world.

I shudder to think .
Ciao

Hallu!! There might be some interesting changes going on in Cuba, Raul is not as pig headed as his brother. I hope the late great Carroll O'Conner and Fidel are having a nice cigar in the alt-universe they're in right now... Archie!!.jpg

Good Riddance, although it sounds like our new A-hole in charge is not interested in mending relations with Cuba.

Glad the commy f****r is gone. Crawled under my desk in JHigh too many times from his threats.
But hell guess it wasn't all bad, the girls had to do the same.


  • I have always been an old car guy. And I admire the people of Cuba that keep the old American
  • rides going with so little import of the correct parts. Its a real passion over there. They love there
  • old cars as much as we do. They are going to love it if we open trade with them. We got all the parts
  • they dream of for there chevies man.

I don't know whats up with these dots??
You chose the insert number or bulleted list feature (the two icons with three lines)

To turn it off, click that again, or back over it or tap enter twice and it will close. You can go to the start of each item and simply back over the do I think as well...lemme see...

blah blah blah (formerly in the list, backed over the dot and it's not anymore)

  • asdafga
  • wtwywt

Turn this thing off:

Absolutely beautiful cars in Cuba. If trade becomes open enough, I wonder if it will become a goldmine for car collectors.
The engines are NOT original; in many cases, they are foreign made and transplanted, and you might be surprised how little remains of the originals.

Thanks Mark and Steven on the DOT issue.
The old cars that are in Cuba really don't have much value here. Like Steven mentioned parts have been transplanted to keep
them going, and the most valuable pieces are the bodies and there pretty beat-up for the most part.
They will be wanting to purchase old cars and parts from us. We have all the good original stuff plus the reproduction market to
advance there hobby along. Its not just about transportation and use what you have anymore. They really are into these old rides.
The same as we are.
I saw one show where these Cubans found an old '58 chevy four door Biscayne over there and they ended up paying like
8 grand for the car. And it had many parts missing plus an anchor for a motor. That car would sell here for a parts donor for maybe 5 bills.

John, care to tell us how you really feel? I'd love to see ya post a bunch of f-Bombs! Just let it all out bro :grin:
The easiest way to get the country to come around is to share what we have with them (Technology and Styles) ect. That way the people will toss the leaders out like they did here a month ago. :D

There's a huge difference, Web.

The Castros have been doing it to them for 57 years.

We've been doing it to ourselves for at least 50 and there is no sign that we'll ever stop.
