Why Mexico?
Someone explain to me (before this thread gets locked) why the big guns (at least in southern Texas) go down to Mexico to street race. I mean don't they throw you in jail there too? I'd rather be thrown in a
jail than one south of the border or get kidnapped...Do you just go down there with a couple hundo in your glove box to pay off the Federale's?

OK, OK, so I was just informed that "Mexico" is closer than I thought...In fact, I went to "Mexico" with a Viper just yesterday...
Oh man, this has the makings of Best Epic Fail thread of the month. And I started it...
Flame on, I'll take one for the team.
