re: Westbound Car Towing on Interstate

Don’t be ignorant - Mexico is not everything south of the Rio Grande

My favorite part of all this is that it's such a sketchy thing to allow on the interstates in the same state that require "inspection stickers" for vehicles to be legal on our roads.
My 2017 Mustang GT failed inspection because of window tint, but every other day I'd pass numerous $2k cars towing two other larger vehicles that on a good night have brake lights.

Every so often I see a Toyota truck and think, damn that's not a bad looking truck. Sometimes they are wrecked with the body panels to fix in the bed. It's like a restoration gift box.

At least the law made them stop stuffing junk cars/trucks inside a gutted school bus. The browns could get 4 at once that way and the last one would be hanging about halfway out the rear of the bus. If you've never seen this, it was frickin scary running up behind one on the interstate late at night.

I have a Guatemalan that works for me that takes trucks back home a few times a year. He said getting through Mexico is a challenge. He's been robbed by gangs and had his trucks taken by crooked cops. He says he's at about a 66% success rate, but it's worth it because he can sell older Toyota trucks in Guatemala for a frick-ton. He chalks it up to the cost of doing business.

Correct, but the rest ain't very different.

Mexico has some busted up cars driving around. You see so many hoopties.

I once took a cab in Cozumel that had a love seat as a front seat. It had a 3 inch pipe attached to the b pillars holding it up right.

Yep, shitty cars abound.

Hellbent, and Matamoros bound!
