Wheels on Z sold in Vietnam

They essentially won that war and now the Vietnamese people are living like all of us decedent capitalists, buying iPods and zooming around in Z's. Old "Ho Ho Ho Chi Minh" must be turning over in his grave. This is just an amazing thing to think about---and a nice looking car too. My apology if my post has violated a rule or the etiquette of this board. Just couldn't pass it up without noting it.

people pay cash for cars over there. Cars cost 3-4 times over there than here. A Z costs about $110,000 USD. that's right, not a typo, and people pay cash for it.

I see more Lamborghinis, Ferraris, Rolls Royces, and Mercedes than i see in the US. The rich is filthy rich. The poor earns $2 / day.

But to stay on topic, it's worthless to have a car over there. It's just to show off. There's too much traffic in large cities and outside of that, the streets are horrible. How do I know? I'm Vietnamese.
