  1. Because it is against the law…...scofflaw….you know, like prohibited.
  2. Mexican Bendix was a loose translation I had heard.
  3. The problem is, most foreigners don´t know how to deal with mordida seeking transitos or they complain about being abused and harassed even when even caught wrongdoing, so the Vialidad jefes pull in their horns when it comes to enforcement. Whatever they do, it will be wrong to a lot of the foreign community. I try not to be too judgemental or disturbed about the "mordida" practice here, as it is almost as engrained in the culture, as the Spanish language.
  4. In Mexico, when using a retorno , which is always a left turn, you stay in the left lane of the retorno, whether in Chapala, or on any highway. It´s like the people who consistently use the right hand lane to turn left onto the Carretera from Independencia in SAT, next to the licorería, when leaving the Superlake area, which is a one way street heading north onto the Carretera. If you are going to turn left there, stay in the left lane, don´t cross over to the right lane to turn left. I know it´s not a perfect world, especially when it involves common sense.
  5. So what? You didn´t lie to me. I´m older than you and proud of it!!!
  6. Neither did witchcraft.....imo.
  7. No 1/2 off for all Mexican citizens in the Municiipio of Chapala as there is a cap on tercer edad descuentos. In some cases the early payment discount is better and you can't have both.
  8. If you can get the poster on this board named "my home sweet home", who also lives in Chapala Haciendas, to come a take a look, and is convinced, then I will buy in also.
  9. This is building up to the crescendo of zombie movies and wheelbarrows. I can feel the excitement in the air. . It will be a race to see who makes the first contact, Maybe milk and cookies for bait? My Nan used to leave a jug of poitin (whiskey) on the front step at night to draw in the leprechauns, and it worked because the jug was always empty the next morning when she did it. Only in Chapala.........
  10. Is that why you go over to Vancouver Island?.....looking for aliens? LOL. BTW....Sasquatches are not aliens on that island.
  11. I thought Santorini was owned by Pepsi...Bonafont too?
  12. Maybe you are getting the "animalito" discount.
  13. has not set their status
