Ever take your G to Mejico?

I go every now and then to check out the club scene, but I've never gone with the G. Next week I will be taking it to Mejico for the first time so that I can have my front bumper fixed. There is someone that can remove the dent for 20 bucks. I'm a bit scared taking the G since people drive like maniacs over there and don't obey the laws.

Check your insurance policy to ensure you're covered in Mexico.

bro i took my crapy 1991 corolla to mexico and they still broke into it and stole my stuff inside and out and this was in rosarito. who knows what they'll do TJ lol
i wouldnt, unless ur goin to a really good hotel, but then u take a taxi everywhere u go lol
i go there more than 5 times a year and especially now its not safe to even go. last time a gang , in the middle of the road, put 2 dumpster in front of us that were on fire. and they said in spanish if we werent locals of that area they were goin to kill us and take our boat and car. lucky we knew spanish and knew where we were goin so they let us go. the place is corrupt
be careful bro

Take it from my own experience, I used to live down there until I was 18, my parents still live there in their beach front house, I would suggest to never drive a flashy car unless you are a local or have a local with you. It's crazy and corrupt.

There are people in the US that'll fix dents for $20 too. Just search for a scratchless dent repair guy in your area.

Save the gas, don't waste your time going south.

if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is, and wouldn't paying a tad more money offset the extra risk of taking the car to a place your not comfortable taking it?

I took my new at the time Jeep Grand Cherokee to Rosarita and when we were waiting in line to cross the border back to the US one of TJ locals pointed at my tire and told me something was wrong. I barely got through the checkpoint onto the 5 and pulled over to change my tire. I had 10" piece of rebar sticking out of the sidewall. No way I could have ran it over. Someone stuck it into the side wall. I can't believe we drove for an hour without knowing. It actually sealed well.

Don't ever take you car into Mexico, it's a third world country. Their highway check points have guards with M16's. A freind of mine took their boat to the baja and two guards/military/coast guard officers (?) stopped them and took all of their money. Your G may be taken and you'll never see it again. I've crossed 4 times in my own car, mostly to play golf at Bajamar. I was young and stupid. Don't do it unless you are sure your are full covered. And yes their cabbies are crazy, they'll smash right into you and good luck getting their insurance and drivers license. Even if you got it what would you do with it?

I have taken the G twice with no problems. But never to TJ or Rosarito.
Taken it to other places and felt like a baller...lol. But the places I been have been gated. I would never just leave it in the street, unattended. Places I been have there own ballers mostly drug traffickers but I recommend knowing spanish or having a local with you.

IF NOT DONT EVEN TRY AND DO IT...I HEARD SOME BAD STORIES NOT FROM JUST ANYONE OF THE STREET BUT FROM FAMILY.
