Cuba To Buy Car

HAVANA–In a bid to bring its citizens greater independence, the nation of Cuba decided Tuesday to pool its resources and purchase a car. “We know of an ’82 Buick Skylark in Haiti that we should be able to fix up and make usable,” Cuban transportation minister Alvaro Perez Morales said. “Having a car will make it easier for our citizens to do everything from grocery shopping to commuting to work.” Use of the car will be determined by lottery, with a winner chosen daily from the nation’s pool of 11 million citizens.
