[Downtrend] The Russian-made jeep genericization of a once-proud name Vehicle is a UAZ-469 ferrying the ashes of Cuban dictator Fidel Castro broke down and needed to be pushed on Saturday en route to the late leader’s final resting place. Castro’s ashes were interred in a private ceremony Sunday morning, ending nine days of official mourning, Fox News is reporting. The breakdown of the jeep in the midst of adoring crowds chanting "Long live Fidel!" was symbolic of the dual nature of Castro’s Cuba. While his legacy inspires fierce adulation by many of the nation’s citizens, others continue to grumble about Cuba’s autocratic government, inefficient bureaucracy and stagnant economy.Free photo @ link. |

#5 Knowing that Jeep is part of Chrysler and now owned by Fiat, and also knowing that while it isn't really germane, the following acronym comes to mind: Fidel Is Actually Towed |

#3 Except for the paint job, the caisson reminds me of a Coleman pop-up camper my uncle owned in the 1960s... |

#1 Should have used a '57 Chevy but that would have been seen as too humiliating. Better to be pushed to the funeral. |
