Take something a teenager wouldn't be caught dead, in. Drive a new BMW 7 series in South Central L.A., Detroit, SF's Fillimore District, East Oakland, or Harlem, and see how far you'd get.
The bozos that snagged the 2 motorhomes near Cd Victoria several years ago quickly learned the weren't worth snot and hiding them was similar to hiding a Zepplin.
Even Michoacan, is boringly safe in most areas during the day. How many years ago has it been since the Canadian Rainbirds lost their bright blue jeep? After a tremendous firefight outside the scumbag hole of Caleta de Campos, about 100 flakes were either killed or driven off out of the state. I do not trust the Paracho - Patzcuaro route nor area east of el sancuario de los mariposes, nor south from Villa Escalante (sta Clara del Cobre) but Mex 200 is safe.
English speaking maseros and cantineros have little patience for me. It is distressing to see folks miss the true beauty of this country. When "John (Juan)" or "Tony (Antonio)" are disappointed I do not buy a genuine imported from Australia frozen lobster dinner for twenty five dollars, or a vat on a stem swash of Margarita* for nine dollars and they know they are going to miss out on the five dollar tip, they lose interest instantly. This is Mexico?
Got GNUS for some. Bartenders are so sick of hearing about "weak" margaritas, the practice of spiking the "Juan Fulano" bargain basement tequila with pure cane alcohol (pop skull) is the rage in tourist resorts.
It's gotten to the point where I'd just as soon spend ten dollars on a plate of (tourist restaurant) fast frozen Chilies Rellenos smothered under a half kilo of pasteurized milk product appeals to me about as much as snorking a can of Alpo.
BEWARE! Many banks have drastically cut maximum extractions in the last few months. BanaMex and BanComer were the first pair of banks to start this nonsense. Some ATMs allow 10K M.N. extractions - others, 6K. The local BanComer charges 81.90 pesos per transaction.
