You really don't need money or material resources to be a car guy. You just are. And so it is with Mahfouz Caberetti. He lives in the Gaza Strip, and in his humble garage, he wrenches on an early '50s Oldsmobile with one of the "Rocket" V8s and a Ponton-era '61 Mercedes-Benz sedan.
Caberetti is featured in a cool slideshow with audio on the BBC news Web site today; we recommend you watch it just to see some of the photos.
Working on the cars, Caberetti says, gives him something to do and eases tension in the otherwise difficult living conditions in Gaza. His biggest problem? Getting spare parts for the cars.
