    BUY MEXICO!

    There'd be no need to "come here" cause they'd be here. Remember in that scenerio we would buy Mexico. The econmy down there would balloon and the money would be made there.

    BUY MEXICO!

    I can't see your logic Leo... IF in the above scenerio were true all the money to be made would be there. The grey hairs (snowbirds) buying up condos (timeshares) business and there'd be no border anymore. Mexico would be the "official 51st state" instead of Canada!*lol*

    BUY MEXICO!

    9copied from a blog) Yes, you read it right! BUY MEXICO! If a company wants to buy another company, they can either approach the management and make an offer to buy it, or they can go directly to the stockholders and make an offer. If enough stockholders accept the offer, you got a deal...

    Diesel cargo Van VS Gas cargo Van.

    I tire of these two words..."I've Heard" Ya know I think "some" people knock the Sprinter just cuz it's a European vehicle. Sure it has it's weak spots like any other. Both Ford and GM has had thier share of problems in the van division. Most of the time if you can really get the truth from...

Even GM and VW have a Sprinter style van in Europe. The introduction of the gas version of...
