What I amazed at was the large number of US made cars from the 60's and newer particularly SUV's in Venezuela. The bigger the car the more they drove over the centerline. I never took much interest in European brands back then. It took active avoidance to stay out of their way.
One thing I thought was funny was that there were some homemade license plates. Apparently if you lost your plate you just painted a new one.
In discussion about politics down there I was amazed at the hatred for the US. This was before Chavez.
