It always happens to me that I leave the photos on the PC or phone and it takes me a long time to make a publication. Things that only happen to us, ha, ha, ha, ha. But it's fun to reminisce and write about it.
Something peculiar is the gasoline cars. In Venezuela they have always been used, it is cheaper now, than having an electric car. This is because we have the largest oil reserves. Ironically, it also happens that there are very few mechanics for electric cars, people who buy them must go to specialized workshops.
Here the vehicle fleet is very old and people are used to this type of vehicle. However, the custom here is to buy Toyota, Ford and Chevrolet cars. Most people want pickup trucks, we call them dragons: they consume a lot of fuel. Governments seek to reduce the use of fossil fuels, but that is not the problem. The ideal is to have a fully circular economy. It is still very difficult.
PS: My grandfather had a Volkswagen Brasilia similar to the Lada.
