But would hate to think of all the alignments that car will need with the rough roads.

You will get a lot of looks when taking your car to Mexico.
Its kinda funny. I went to Puerto Penasco (Rocky Point) with no problems......except the traction sucks due to some sand on the roads.

If this was a poll, I'd vote, " Ö Yes. It's probably stolen."

Mexico City
Have you ever been to Mexico City...................You would not believe what kind of cars you see down there....................
I lived in Mexico City for over 15 Years.........
In The Polanco, Pedregal or Lomas area......You see 20 year old kids driving M3, Ferrari's, Hummers, Corvette, Alfa Romeo, Benz, Etc....
But I agree, the Roads SUCK!
