Isn't most everybody there (except the politicians) living in poverty, like any other socialist country?

A Vette might be a little out of reach. But what do I know? -- I've never been there.

Hence since 1959 and the communist party, no US car imports into Cuba, and what can be imported even now, is from the soviet union.

I saw Castro in a Z06 last weekend. He couldn't quite get used to the manual tranny though.

You go every six months? How many times have you been there and how many Corvettes have you seen there? I suspect that there aren't a whole lot of them there...

Being a brutal dictator, you'd think he'd make someone come with him to shift the dang thing.

Brutal? The only thing he is brutal to these days, is a diaper!

If there was a Corvette in Cuba most likely it would be a C-1 which was there before the revolution in about 1960. If there was one hiding somewhere it would either have no engine or has some engine transplant like most everything in Cuba.

A Corvette.... I saw something on TV about some women looking at the internet for the 1st time. I think castro has a captive audience.

Google shows a couple links mentioning four or five Vettes. This link shows two.

Well, they more than likely don't have any Corvettes in Cuba, but they do have a brand new Walmart down there:

I can't go to cuba, they won't let me go from the U.S. and I won't go to Mexico or Canada, not in my budget.
