I love the "gauntlet" passing Mexican Customs returning from the USA. The vaunted RED / GREEN traffic light that they say USED TO randomly pick vehicles for customs searches TODAY...
Is used to slow traffic down to a crawl. You could walk faster...
Six lanes
And THREE customs officers (18-total)
To pass. They stare inside a car or in the bed of a pickup
Black windows. Newer car, single driver INSPECTION!
Pickup truck with drive-in theater screen TV in the bed INSPECTION!
Cars sagging in the rear INSPECTION!
Mexicowanderer with goodies on the floor in the rear seat, overload springs, forward tilt, no inspection. Non taxable stuff in trunk.
APPARENTLY for CAR batteries, COSTCO does not buy a vendor's lightest and least expensive model.
