People gather outside a government-run car dealership that sells used vehicles in Havana, Cuba, Friday, Jan. 3, 2014. Cubans are eagerly visiting car dealerships as a new law takes effect on Friday eliminating a special permit requirement that has greatly restricted vehicle ownership in the country. To their dismay they found sharply hiked prices on the first day the law was in force. In Cuba, the government retains its monopoly on a vehicle's market value. (AP Photo/Ramon Espinosa)
