Hey Anon, I'm all for creating an atmosphere of complete honesty on the border - going both ways.

Found at Last
The last HONEST man (or woman) has spoken. Unfortunately, he/she/it chooses to remain anonymous, no doubt out of modesty.
It probably takes a great deal of effort for "anonymous" to have gone through their entire life never telling a falsehood, never cheating in any way,
including their taxes and never having EVER broken any law intentionally, including traffic laws.
My experience in life has been that people I've met have certain falsehoods that they feel are important to evade and others that they feel are
justified, but the real truth is that it is all the same, either you're the one perfect person or you're just like the rest of us.
I'm simply melding into the Mexican culture where corruption is endemic. Should we not try to emulate the native culture ?
Take your sanctimony and wipe your sphincter with it.

As far as the broker goes, the reason my neighbor went through a broker in Arizona was that he was told that was the procedure to follow, and, in fact
he had to wait until he got authorization from U.S. Customs to "export" the equipment. This was the most awkward of the provisions since he was given
a 72 hour time frame to cross the border. While it may be quite possible for a person to simply drive across the border and go through the broker
process (I have no idea), you would have to be a complete marooon to drive hundreds of miles with high-value goods without knowing that you could take
it across.

Poker Run
I was told that the Poker Run run drew about 175 entries, down a little from last year, but still pretty good. The weather was great. Some high-thin
overcast at the start, but completely clear by mid-afternoon. I didn't participate, but drove down to watch the start. Neighbors who did run said
that the course chosen was rougher than last year in places, but you can always slow down (they did). There were no injuries or misadventures that I
am aware of.
The after-run party was raucous and the celebrating went on past midnight. I'm happy that the family got a good turnout for Memorial Day Weekend, but
I'm also glad that it doesn't happen very often.

don't you just love those anonymous--
posts!!
I took my Arizona Wind and Sun invoice and declared what was too big to be "lost with the crowd" stuff and paid 15% tax to the Mexican government!!
I also pay the same "sale taxes" that the mexican people pay along with the" Pemex Tax" and others on down the line.
Just because I didn't feel it necessary to declare 100%. doesn't make me or many others "bad guys".
So as MRBILL says, "wipe your ----with your sanctmonious atitude!!

For the Santa Rosalia and Mulege area (Leech : not ara!) you can buy any tractor in Hermosillo.
John Deere, Case, McCormick, Cat, all there.
Mainland? Not a good idea?
CD Constitution, got all as well.
But Gringos don't want making business in Mexico, right?
Stupid enough you pay a lot of tax for any import, but buying in Mexico doesn't come to you. |
I spent over 90,000 dollars on tractors and equipment in Mexico. how about you Anonymous?

that is right Bob and there is nothing wrong with buying your tractor in the U.S. and importing it into Mexico they are all made in the same place
anyway and the Gov got their money.
