Words cannot describe the driving experience in Mexico. Passing on blind curves, going uphill, in the mountains...sheer drop offs...the speed bumps that come close to taking the oil pan off your speeding car...pot holes that swallow your tires...federale check points...fog so thick you can't see the front of the car hood...horse, cattle, goats, dogs, walking along the brim of the road...OH, and crazy drivers.
My good friend Dan Woodland offered me some sage advice on driving in Mexico. And I quote:
"Mo, when you see the big truck in front of you put on his left turn signal...that means he is saying you can pass him...or it could mean he is turning left."
Thank you Mr. Woodland. In all fairness we never had an accident or an incident...like some other cars (cough-cough...Eddie Martin). We shared the driving...but Dan made the experience a little more interesting. I think his exact words after seeing the brand new Chevy Malibu was, "This is a really nice car. I am going to hate beating the crap out of it." Or words to that effect.
For those who haven't had the experience, Dan provides us with a short PSA on driving in Mexico.
