Default So I drove to Mexico today...

I haven't been to Mexico in quite a few years, but a few things have really changed since the last time I went.

1. The roads have improved.
2. It was cold and they now get snow.
3. It is a lot more mountainous than I remembered.

I will repost the video but I need to edit a few things. Zoomed it in to remove wife. Also removed one of the Mexico street signs, since it was a bit of an eye sore.

It was all good. A few points:

1. Almost no traffic. Very isolated road.
2. The shoulder area was really big. She was probably 10 feet back.
3. I did not get on it until I was past her. Even then I was pretty mellow because it was really cold in Mexico today.

She's driven it twice. The first time we were going through a tunnel, and right as I was getting ready to say "give it a little gas" she floored it.

You just can't teach that, Bronson.

I stay out of Mexico. Nothing but bad things can happen there. I've got too many horrible stories. They run the gamut from dishonest Federales to fake kidnapping to murder charges. My good friend and two of his buddies chartered a fishing boat. One of them died from a heart attack. The other two were charged with murder and thrown in jail. It cost them hundreds of thousands of dollars to be cleared of murder. Stay out of Mexico.
