    The less Spanish you speak, the better off you are actually. Typically they'll get frustrated and just flag you on from the military checkpoints or if you get caught up in a mordida (payoff) scam. I've driven down there by myself at night, taken my rhino, taken a handful of girls, boat parts, you name it, and I've never had an issue. I do speak Spanish and find myself telling them I don't as a white boy speaking Spanish just brings on more questions, like why do you speak Spanish gringo? The roads are better than some I drive on up here on a regular basis. They'll be out paving and doing road construction 7 days a week.

    I mean, Mexico is scary and nobody should go there... ever!

    My #1 would have to be my own boat! 1981 Bahner... I've wanted to own this boat since I was a little boy. Took a lot of searching and a lot of years, but it all paid off.

    My #2 is Jack Landers old "Quicker" boat. I can remember sitting in his garage while he worked on it. Then he'd fire up for us and throw a few reves. That was awesome. His son Greg and I grew up together and have been friends since diapers. It's sad that this boat was destroyed in a crash. Funny story, my screen name, Undersoul, became my nickname used by Jack and Greg from a miss reading of my last name at Ascot raceway. Back in the mid 80's Greg and I raced 50's together there. One of the nights my dad wrote my last name so sloppy that the announcer called me Ryan Undersoul the whole night. Jack and Greg started calling me Undersoul from then on.

    #3 Would have to be my dad's boat. There are to many memories and years in this boat to count for it not to be in my top 3.

    DO you mean BIG Greg / GNXL from Long Beach/traffic circle area, or whatever his screen name is? The electrician/nostalgia motocross guy?

    Haven't got to see him in a few years unfortunately, I think I saw him last at Irvine on test/tune day, he was there hanging with the great Garland GN crew...

    P.S. I totally get that about your dads boat... I have my dads boat which we grew up in, in my barn, deciding to either KEEP or sell...
