I bought this one in Arizona specifically for a trip to Mexico. It was junk, it wasn't running, so the idea was to feel safe in it down there. I fixed it up and we had a splendid 600 mile round-trip to Rocky Point (Puerto Pe?asco). The idea was to dump it right after the trip, but it ran so well I decided to keep it. A month later I moved to Seattle area. It took me there with all my crap, the entire 1700 miles, and didn't choke once. Now it's my daily ride to work, and on occasion my home.
