Good radar detector/jammer + Waze and you can do anything you want in the good ol' USA.
Maybe also a cop shield from a friend.

I don't think you realize how fun it is actually driving there, and not worrying about getting busted for going 10 MPH over the speed limit, or getting a reckless. Curvy roads, your own personal race track at nights. The free way roads are NOT bad, comparable to midwest roads, its just the small streets that suck.
The roads in the US are extremely boring and SAFE, constantly worrying about a cop in the corner trying to hit you with a $500 ticket. Cops there got better things to do, such as getting tacos :-)
You actually get to use your car, and not granny shift it. Your alert, your alive, cause YES danger is everywhere.

First I didn't drive, and unknown person
But not to get in trouble I decided best to delete the video. We don't need any heat.

Trump should make Franko T the new ambassador to Mexico; imagine the shenanigans once Franko has diplomatic immunity!

Oh Franko, scared of the hombres down there?
I want to see more 150 mph Mexican run videos.

Russian Roulette

"U.S. citizens have been murdered in carjacking and highway robberies, most frequently at night and on isolated roads. Carjackers use a variety of techniques, including roadblocks, bumping/moving vehicles to force them to stop, and running vehicles off the road at high speeds. There are indications that criminals target newer and larger vehicles, but drivers of old sedans and buses coming from the United States are also targeted. U.S. government personnel are prohibited from intercity travel after dark in many areas of Mexico. U.S. citizens should use toll roads (cuotas) whenever possible. In remote areas, cell phone coverage is limited or non-existent."

Yes just hope he doesn't have those same cajones removed and placed someplace else as the cartel likes to do!
Franko of is correct. Sometimes the media over plays a situation. People are creatures of of habit and believe what is force fed to them through media. I'm sure the situation is a little daring for most television watcher but the truth is somewhere in between. If I were his age and with the means I would probably be riding shotgun. I've done a few tours to the DR in my day so I know what this entails. it's a rebellion on the main stream mindset. Bin there and done it. 90% chance he will be back to reality soon as he's done with the the rebellion. OP, enjoy it till it's done. Only happens for a short time.
Fuel cost about $3.20 a gallon, and I don't put that crap in my car. God knows what's in it. Get gas in SD, 91 shell or chevron
I live in Mexico, so the drive is about 30 min without traffic from where I go. I live in a beach town, Rosarito, where all you gringos live, yes there is more of us!
Night drives are the best, few cars on the road, some Twisties and long stretches, it's your own personal race track...when smooth usually cruising 90 plus. Nothing beats driving and not stressing, what if I get popped, that feeling is gone and your enjoy driving.... Not reckless but sporty
Cops see my car all the time, no problems, just don't have tint, that's all they care about. They have check points randomly, and they make you blow into their face or hand. I don't drink, so no worries. Everyone including the police make comments how they like the car.

White Porsche 991, lives in Mexico. Not worried about driving there. Hmm. Anyone else thinking that HE is in a cartel and completely protected?
C'mon OP. Admit it. Give us a "say hello to mi lill friend".
