Talk:Yank tank

In the UK
Yank vehicles are also called 'Yank tanks' in the UK due to their excessive size. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.35.129.161 (talk) 00:25, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

using "máquina"
I find the usage of máquina in the beginning of this article to be strange. In Cuban Spanish máquina is more correctly used as a term for a car, irregardless of size or type.

Their size is not excessive. American cars are called whatever the brits call them because they're brits. Nothing else. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.32.24.15 (talk) 17:37, 16 November 2012 (UTC)

Lifting of restrictions on auto sales in Cuba
The section of the article about the Yank tanks in Cuba is outdated and should be updated to reflect the fact that Cuba has already legalized the purchase and sales of autos built after 1959, as well as easing restrictions on the purchase of imported autos (http://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-25450026; http://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-13998167). Nevertheless, the average monthly wage in Cuba averages 20 dollars, and most Cubans do not have enough money to purchase a used car or even an imported auto.Extrapolaris (talk) 04:26, 6 March 2014 (UTC)Vahe Demirjian
