An almost amusing sight at Fidel Castro's funeral procession: the car carrying his remains reportedly broke down and had to be pushed by soldiers.
The vehicle was reportedly Russian-built.
Pictures of the scene quickly spread on Twitter, with people calling it a "fitting metaphor" for the Castro regime:

How fitting: The jeep carrying Fidel Castro's ashes broke down and soldiers had to push it the rest of the way to the cemetery. #castrodeath pic.twitter.com/KodjTHWgRt— Tim Young (@TimRunsHisMouth) December 4, 2016

After Castro passed away on November 25, many Cuban refugees (and their families) living in the United States celebrated the occasion with hopes that Cuba could one day be freed completely.
Or in Boston, may your opponent concede half an hour before your parole officer knows your on ballot!
Can’t believe they didn’t use a 57 Chevy Wagon.
It’s their national car.
Too funny. Rodney Dangerfield voice with a rimshot.
From the Irish, too, no doubt
Methinks you are on to something, cult of personality types ultimately want to have their remains become a "religious relic" ...
If you’re still alive 7 years after you died, I’d say your health care is pretty damn good.
[ Don’t forget what a tool Obama was for the Cubans. They posted the picture of him with Che on the National Revolutionary Police building (Cuban secret police).
Obama’s Photo Op With Che Guevara Wasn’t The Worst Thing About The Picture ]
The Irony that Che was a blatant racist is all but lost onthe typical libtard.
The truck is a UAZ, the Russian interpretation of the Jeep. It is a notoriously poorly constructed and unreliable vehicle.
ROTFLOLOL! Sheesh. My screen!
"I dunno what's wrong, man! I put $0.50 of gas in last week!"
Better version for Castro’s funeral (more peppy): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJRts1kwzKc
Why should I fix your d*mn truck - what’s in it for me?
Another Marxist ‘success’ story.
Five-year Plan and they cannot solve the problems of the Moskovitch.
Love it. Now, go find a Latin version.
The Soviet aircraft carrier kaput.
Bad week for the central planners.
May he NOT R.I.P.
