In reply to the discussion: Power goes out on entire island of Cuba, leaving 10 million people without electricity [View all]My brain contains a lot of outdated info. Must be an age thing - must research.
"Chinese, South Korean, and some European car models are the typical modern vehicles in Cuba.
Since 2009, the modern vehicles that this country has imported include Geely CK, Kia, Peugeot, Hyundai, and Renault. The Chinese Geelys are used as police cars.
Cars from the 1940s and 50s, including Buicks, Ford Fairlanes and Falcons, Pontiacs and Studebakers, Chevy Corvettes and Bel Airs.
European cars such as FIATs and Alfa Romeos, Mercedes-Benz SLs and Volkswagen Karmann-Ghias.
Soviet-era Ladas and Volgas"
OK. updated my brain.

True! At least they won't be cold. And this outage was not storm-related I think.
