Cuban Chrome. Anyone watching?

Post by FlyingPenguin »

Missed the first two episodes, but just watched 3 & 4. Amazing how they keep those old cars running, and how they have to scrounge for parts. There's also a lot of interesting info on what life in Cuba is like. Everyone runs some kind of business out of their house.

Curiously, the show started filming BEFORE the U.S. and Cuba started normalizing relations.

I found them all on torrents because my DVR missed the first two. Theres only 5 episodes this season, unless they do a split season.

I find it fascinating to see what daily life is like there. There are no stores. People hoard parts and run junkyards out of their garages. Most people in havana use their homes as a business during the day.

There are definitely classes in this supposedly classless society. Most of the car collectors are a lot better off financially that the rest of the public.
