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.

Look for trouble, you will find it ANYWHERE, but they are not Hi-jacking tourists left and right.
Interesting data; was surprised to see Belarus, Georgia and Sudan as being highly safe - I guess since S Sudan was created in 2011 all that civil war sh*t got split off to the South.

Japan, Sing., UAE etc no surprise; and yes, Europe.

Re OP: sure does help to be local, know the roads; the cops; the lingo etc. I just saw 'Sicario' and over the border from El Paso ... yikes.

Agreed. That is a game changer. Probably should have disclosed that in the original post lol.

Yeah, I think I would be a little more confident driving down there if I ACTUALLY LIVED THERE...

No chick is worth the risk... I'm Latino. I wouldn't drive my Porsches there. I'm sure most of the time things are fine, but not worth it. I have Mexican customers who order their cars bulletproof for a reason.
