It looks like a badly rusted and badly bent tire rim on the right side. Hardly something you would find on a fairly new rental car.
The rim would most likely have to be replaced along with replacing the tire or fixing the flat.

Back at Resturant Villa.
Very comfie and like home to me. The hotel was my basecamp for many trips and when I am in town.
I started off at Hotel Chavez across the street.
It was my 1st.
It very reasonable and I think was about $20/nite back then. My 1st stop on my 1st trip on my own down the peninsula.
I had camping gear but had a $20/nite hotel budget and only camped once. And that was on a beach with a girl I met in La Paz.

I went to the Old Mill 1st tonight. It was empty.
I had heard of a new restuarant over there. Eucalipto. 10 or so tables and it was packed.
A hamburger was $10 and all the prices were in US Dollars.
I'll save it for another day when I can enjoy it more.
I getting into a Baja daze that always seems to get me for a few days.
The Old Pier area has totally been improved and even has a public restroom and a patio with picnic tables. And a new fish cleaning station with
running water. All fairly new.
I saw a few fish... yes in a fishbucket.
I don't think the fisherman was from Nantucket. Unless they speak spanish there...
Apperently there are plenty of short White sesbass in the bay. At least one bucket full
He said the were delicious and I think he was fishing for his family.

Goodmorning all.
Burned almost 2 bundles of wood last night. Wasn't as cold but I like it warm. Although it is difficult to sleep when needing to stoke a fire every 2
hours.
Even still I feel very rested and very unconcerned about much.
I need to wait around for the propane truck to fill my tank, also new.
Word is he says early but takes all day to get here.
So I'll try and take some "postcard" type photos around here today.
I hope the struggle to get here came across in the early pics.
Always different, always worth it, always amazing.

Very nice house forsale here and a good price.
I think it was "Fitzgaralds's" back in the day. A small fishing motel.

"https://www.point2homes.com/MX/Home-For-Sale/Baja-California..."
From $250,000 in 4/20/18 to $139,000 today , speaks volumes ....
The gauge to use is that anything priced in US Dollar's in Mexico is for SURE overpriced ....

Since I've given up all hope, I feel much better

I saw that too. Let that be a lesson to me... don't over build or over invest. You won't get the money back during you life time.
But I would love to know the original cost to buy the lot and build the house.
Lost in time I'm sure...

You must use the link called "Hotlink for Forums" (it is near the bottom of the many links they give you for each of your photos).
I got 19 new photos in my inbox from you, I will post them now, with the captions you included...

Photos from Fishbuck in San Quintín, with his captions
I'm in heaven
One of my favorite places in Baja. [Baja Jardines Restaurant]
Words cannot describe it.
It's a jungle out there!
What a relief!
Anybody who follows along can understand how much this means to me.
If you haven't been to Jardines please visit there on your next trip.
The hotel was very dog-friendly and Baja 1000 big white boy friendly.
I guess those guys need to be big to manhandle the tires and other equipment. And they really enjoyed the bar too.
I ate in the dining room this time.
And one very expensive smile.
Free of charge!
It was chilly the 1st 2 nights.
Not as cool tonight.
My fireplace in my master bedroom. Living room has a fireplace too.
My new view of the world.
This place has windows and views to die for!
What lucky guy lives in this house?
Who could it be?
Little white car is getting in the grove now. He likes baja-ing around.
A few years from now a Mexican mom will have it and she will surprise you where she can go with her kids in it.
I see in now and then in the "back country".
Then I feel silly that I was scared...
Yes it's real. The sunset... not the smile. Not real but genuine...

sometime in the early 80's I picked up a brochure at a fred hall show selling lots on the pedregal for $25k, I seriously considered it, I would have
lasted maybe a month!

Of that mess, here is the photo link:
https://i.postimg.cc/2bvJ9rGX/20190507-091027.jpg
This is a thumbnail photo link.
Now, to post on Nomad, it needs to have tags added on each side of the link: [img=320x] and [/img]. The =320x part is usually to make sure it stays
within Nomad limits. 800 is the max. This photo at full size is blurry because it is a thumbnail link so I dropped down the size.

Thank you for the tutorial... again. Hopefully I will get good at it and you won't need to retrain me everyday... like I was Canadian

I don't have any cute dog photos yet but I know where the is the cutest dog I have even seen and will get a pic of him today.
I will post a photo of the dog that gave me this cute little kiss on the back of my calf... watch out... he's sneaky!
But a good dog that I need to try and make friends with. And he isn't the trained attack dog who patrols here everynight with his human.
Thank God he was in his kennel.
They both are now... probably until I leave.
Their job here is to bite strangers. Problem is they only know 3 people. The mom, the dad, and thier benefactor.
So everyone else is a stranger.
Please be aware.
He bite me when I was handing the gate keys to his mom...
He's a good dog but I hope he broke a tooth on me, a canine tooth.
It appears the he got one fang in the skin. He was certainly trying for more...
What a good dog!
