Anyone located in Ensenada Mexico (Baja) area?
I am from Mexico.
But you will have to drive few kilometers south, I am from Cancun.
At this time me and the NSX are stuck in Toronto, Funny to hear people talk about my poor Mexico.
I guess it is pretty bad in northern Mexico.

Every time I go to Mexico its not the way people put it in the USA. I think there is a better chance of me getting killed in the USA by some drunk driver than in mexico by a kidnaper.
Yes not all of Mexico is in seige but you still have to know where not to go.
Most people are not willing to take the chance and find out where to go and where not to go.
Some good reading here

"U.S. citizens traveling throughout Mexico should exercise caution in unfamiliar areas and be aware of their surroundings at all times. Bystanders have been injured or killed in violent attacks in cities across the country, demonstrating the heightened risk of violence in public places. In recent years, dozens of U.S. citizens living in Mexico have been kidnapped and most of their cases remain unsolved. U.S. citizens who believe they are being targeted for kidnapping or other crimes should notify Mexican law enforcement officials and the U.S. Embassy in Mexico City or the nearest U.S. consulate as soon as possible. Any U.S. visitor who suspects they are a target should consider returning to the United States immediately. U.S. citizens should be aware that many cases of violent crime are never resolved by Mexican law enforcement, and the U.S. government has no authority to investigate crimes committed in Mexico."
China can be just as bad with all the crap/scams/kidnapping that they try to pull on people. Just as in with everything its always better to know someone who can show you the ropes there.
Just to put things in perspective and to be fair there are many places right here in the bay area where I wouldn't venture into and especially at night and absolutly never with the NSX.
In fact, I'd say that you could make the same case for just about any place in country.
There's alot of scary places in world. You just wouldn't think it would be the humans that are the most dangerous.

Ya, but is there a better chance of getting killed by a drunk Mexican (driving or not) or an American kidnapper?
What a comparison
Yes you can and I agree with you however the cops here are way better than most countrys and at least if I go to a crappy area I can bring my 45 with me.
I plan to go to mexico some day.....cancun or the other nice tourist areas.
LOL really the cops will help you? When you have lived in places like I have like East LA and Inglewood you will notice that when you call the cops they will show up once its all over. I rember seeing this girl getting beat up by her BF on the street and she was really getting hurt. I called the cops and they get there 1 hour and a half later. Yeah good luck on getting the cops to help you out in places like that.
WTF?
I love Mexico and I hate that only bad news is put in the USA when is comes to Mexico or any other country that is south of the USA.
