I know they are there because I seen a couple across the border of El Paso, TX. They just don't know about the existence of my350z.com.

Virtually every time I see a car rolling around here from Mexico, it is absolute crap.

Its usually an old Chevy truck with the tacky fender kits, aluminum running boards and really tiny diameter rims with wide tires that stick out of the body (even with the tacky fender kits, lol) Apparently, the favorite color for trucks down there is that dark aquamarine.

I remember there was this riced-out civic with Mexico plates on the freeway. Boosted and let the BOV go off right next to his window, ha ha.

Get that crap outta here.

Default Saw one in Mexico

I actually saw a 350z in Mexico last year when I went there on vacation. My sis and I saw as we were driving to this lake (Santa maria del oro, In Nayarit, Mexico). The drive down to the lake is pretty rough and the the surronding village streets are even worse since they have a freakin bumps the size of a mountain every 100 yards. I couldn't make out the year or type since it was going very fast and it turned the corner even faster. My sister pointed it out to me and well, the sound is undenieable and when I saw it, I was damn................wtf is that car doing here...............weird!!!!

Yeah I was on vacation 2 years ago in Puerto Vallarta Mexico right next to Nayarit and I saw a few actually, I wasn't too surprised since the nissan sentra is the car of choice down there. Although its not the sentra down there, it goes by another name, I was kind of curious to know what they actually called it over there. They had a huge nissan dealership there that I was plannijg on checking out but between the heavy drinking and the booze cruise I didn't find the time..... I was actually more shocked when I saw the AMG rolling around, but it didn't surprise me when the cab driver told me that it belonged to a drug lord of some sort.

I've gone down a couple of times to visit some family in Mexicali, and its rediculously lame. I even had a freakin Taxi try to run me.. every time we went somewhere there were dudes in busted civics, focus, escorts, and old school mustangs trying to "race"


So after the first two times, we decided from then on that we take my girl's corrola.. lol now we blend in with the other "racers" lmao

To those who are skeptical, there are lots of very fine cars in Mexico (Audis, BMWs, Mercedes, Ferraris, etc...).

As a matter of fact, Mexico is consistently on the top-20 largest economies in the world.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of..._GDP_(nominal)

The problem, is that much of the wealth is not evenly distributed, and poverty levels are a huge contrast to the a weak middle-class and the über-rich elite that own most of the country and live mansions, parade in jets, and a possess insanely large swiss accounts.

I went on vacation in july and saw a 350z down south. I was very surprised given the area I saw it in. I don't know why people are surprised Mexico having people with nice cars. The cost of living in Mexico is so cheap, a lot of people are able to afford new cars. If I was paying here what people pay in Mexico for an apartment, I would have a couple more new cars.
