Spare Parts for Mexico Trip
Greg:

We have never, in over 18 years of travelling and living in Mexico,
paid a bribe. Most of the cops are really good. Like in the Southern
states some of the small towns have corrupt police. Some big cities are
bad as well: Tijuana, Mexico City. We try to follow the strange traffic
laws: cannot turn left on a main road that has a lateral. You must
enter the lateral and turn left from there. No heavy vehicles on the
road if there is a lateral. No jumping amber lights. Of course when
stopped we are polite, speak Spanish and stand our ground. So far so
good. Besides Mexicans love vehicles that are " Clasicos" Local cops
were in my shop/garage last week and drooled over the Bird. When we
went south in our Cortez, many years ago, the toll booth attendants
wanted to buy her! I will be thinking of all of you and your high
priced ULSD as we buy full strength loaded with Sulphur diesel for
$1.85!!
