    Documentary looking at the cars that are left in Cuba since before the embargo, which most consists of 40s and 50s American cars, and what the guys over there have to go through to keep them running. Pretty interesting seeing the stuff they build from scratch just to keep their cars on the road. It's on Netflix streaming.

    Watched that earlier this semester on Netflix. Short and entertaining, I enjoyed it. The part with the dude making the homemade brake pads was...lung burning?

      No shit! I think that got my attention more than anything, the way he was just playing with asbestos with NO protection whatsoever.

        As many cigars they smoke over there on a daily, I don't think it really matters to their lungs at this point.

              lol @ the Ito brake pads shop.... you're right that's crazy. Really is amazing what they do over there. Almost seems like a NAPA would ruin their fun.
