Somehow the Mexicans changed the rules about buying property near the beach.
Some guy was trying to get me to go to a seminar about it. Some years back I
was looking at property near Rocky Point. Figured it was the only place
close enough to go to for a weekend. At that time property was inexpensive
but you had to put it in some kind of trust, you could never actually own
it.
My old record holding 69 Nova is now racing in Mexico.
