Me neither Carly will be with me and all I have in the rear right now is a lap belt.
I'm just here for the views. It helps me feel wanted.

I was worried about that too! I knew she'd be along for the ride no matter what. But knowing she has someone to talk to besides all of us (hahahah) makes it better.

In talking with Andy he is bringing Lily and I am trying to get Karen to go with me. She's nervous about the typical BS Mexico stuff though - like getting kidnapped and her head cut off. I keep trying to explain she will be fine and we will have a blast...

Sorry about that. I couldn't help myself. Tell your mom I'm sorry again too.

Tried already. I told her I've been shot so many times down there that I'm scared to go back, but the fact that I get raped as well and I enjoy that keeps me coming back...

Well, it looks like I will have my own Bronco for the trip. I found one on CL and SteveG (a true gentleman) took some time out of his busy shedule to give it a look over for me and help with the purchase. He has it at his shop, doing some minor repairs, smog, etc. I cant thank him enough for his help, what with finishing Nick's beast and all, and his other projects. I hope to be over soon to assist with some upgrades and meet everyone before August. Hopefully, most of you can come up to a get-together and the first few rounds are definately on me! :D :D Anyone looking for a ride to Baja, I might have an empty seat if I can't convince SteveG to go :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Nick, we originally thought of staying in town, I didn't know you could stay at the horsepower ranch. What are the details there?
