Did you just have a stroke Kevin? Sit down, call 911. Stick out your tongue, does it deviate? Is your grip strength equal? Time is of the essence my friend! :zany-face: :face-with-head-bandage:

I was WAY off... thank you Luis!
Until the fall of the USSR, which I think was in 1991, everything we had was Russian, even the cartoons that the government let you watch on those big big tv, lol

Hmmm, I’ve seen footage of beautiful 1950’s beautiful cars in Cuba that the Cubans some how keep them running as daily drivers or was that fake news Luis?

I'm referring to foreign cars. There are still 1945 Chevys in Cuba, lol, although that has changed a bit in recent years. But in my youth, we only saw Ladas, Moskovichs, and Chevys. And there are American cars because before Fidel's dictatorship, Cuba was a country that did business with the entire world. Many US factories had branches there, but Fidel arrived with his communism-socialism and the country's misfortune came.

You already know what I'm gonna say, haven't tested :downcast-face-with-sweat:
It can be boring to test all the time buddy, but try to make it a habit and you'll see how you won't even think about it afterwards.
