Cubans & Cars A.R.C.

You can go ahead and accuse me of placing the cart before the horse. But I don't care because I'll take a car any day. So the Mercedes 300D has a rusty fuel tank that keeps on clogging up my fuel filters. I came to the conclusion the she was not going to get me through the winter so I broke down and bought another car. I picked it up on craigslist.com for $900. What a deal! For those of you still stuck in Fidel's island jail for the past 50 years, craigslist.com is a website where you can buy or sell anything and there is no advertising cost. Sure my '91 Toyota with 150K on it needed front hub bearings but that's all except for a few cosmetic issues. This was not even the best deal but I did not jump on the even better deals fast enough so I missed out. But finding these little mechanical treasures that will provide me with transportation for years to come for only $900 is a rush! That kind of money just about everybody in the USA earns in a week or two. If you look on the right hand side of the main craigslist page you will see all the countries where you can use this site, even China and Vietnam. Sadly, Cuba is not one of them. It is because the current government is run by liars, thieves and scoundrels. So these types of web transactions are not practical because Castro must get his cut of the action and that could be any percentage. The only rule of law in Cuba is the law of the jungle and Raul always gets to be the lion with the accompanying share.

Fortunately, Raul's time in charge may just be a matter of weeks. Once he's out of the way all kinds of goods can flood into Cuba especially cars. What I want to do is locate my family in Cuba then give them a car. But even giving a car away now would be stupid in Raul's Cuba because he'd steal it. That won't help my relatives in the slightest. So continue to do as little as possible for the tyrant, sabotage whenever possible, and steal anything you can get your hands on for your family. When they announce Fidel is dead then go into the streets peacefully but refuse to leave until Raul and gang leave the country.

Oh yeah! My Mercedes I will convert to bio-fuel. Hey, maybe I'll give that to my kin? With the warm weather in Cuba you could run the car exclusively on vegetable oil. How many cars will come into Cuba A.R.C. (After Raul Castro)? How many Cuban exile families are there around the world? We are all planning to do just this sort of thing because for God's sake people - you've got to have a car! So let's ALL get rolling! You continue to do nothing until you are free and I'll get going putting my bearings in. Cuba libre amigos!!!
