It was very, very weird to see 13 old VW Beetles abreast coming at you
door handle-to-door handle on one of the 8 lane avenues with their horns
blasting away. Heck, they didn't even stop for wrecks they had among
themselves. Ever wonder what happens to old U.S. school buses?? They
disconnect the throttle governors, the brakes, add a big horn and sell
'em for mountain buses. Seems like you don't need brakes if you have a
loud horn....been there, done that...pretty exciting for this 'ol
gringo. We had a blast. I'd do it again in a heartbeat!!

I remember my first trip to Mexico, Cancun, on the van ride to the hotel
we gringos noticed the driver hardly noticed the red octagonal signs
that said "Alto" and one happy vacationer quipped that "Alto" must mean
"yield".
