"Colorful vintage cars are a staple of Cuban culture. The owners take great pride in their vehicles that are impeccably maintained. They are the modern-day MacGyver, piecing together parts that were never attended for use in cars. Luckily, I was able to visit and take a tour of Havana in style. The ingenuity is inspiring but also makes you appreciate the little things."
