Unfortunately I cannot. Mexico has put in a lot of work on their computer systems. In the last 5 years or so their computers have gotten very reliable. The moment I present my Passport to get a permit it pops up that I'm a resident. A way around this would be to put it in someone else's...

That part was disappointing but not crushing. Not being able to walk or do things for the last 3 years has been devastating. Finally about 3 weeks ago it was like a switch was flipped on and I can walk! I still need my wheelchair for going into stores but I am walking better each day. Trying...

Not for the average person. For anyone on a tourist visa it's not a problem. You get your tourist visa and a TIP (temporary importation permit) for your vehicle and you are good to go. My problem is that I was retired in Mexico full time. So I had to get either a Temporary or Permanent...

Every now and then they change what years and types of vehicles can be legally imported. The importer told me that because it's a diesel it must be 2005 or newer. Kind of makes sense. Everyone wants the 7.3L diesel because it's built like a tank. After 2004 they put all kinds of epa stuff on...

I travel in Mexico frequently. I'm a Permanent Resident of Mexico and therefore I must drive a Mexican plated vehicle. I found out the requirements have changed to nationalize a vehicle after I bought the bus. It cannot be nationalized. So I went ahead and got all the work done on it and now...

2003 Shuttle Bus with the sought after 7.3 turbo diesel. Located near Tyler Texas. Lots of new parts(will work on getting a better list). Brand new rear brakes(rotors, pads, callipers and seals). All new tires with less than 200 miles.....new spare. Brand new batteries. New battery cables...

There is something about Friday afternoon/evening that seems to result in me giving mechanics money! Check engine came on on my truck. Was there until after 10 pm. I found my laptap. Spent a couple of hours letting it update and now I'm ready for chat! No more thumb cramps from texting!

Yes!! Oh I have missed being here. Wish I could bottle the smell of the air.

Camper guess where I'm at and what I'm looking up at 😊😊😊

I'm not sure exactly where to post this so hopefully this is the right place. It's finally something less than furnace hot in east Texas and I need to get my shuttle bus ready to go. I need some help to do that. Very little is going to be built in though some will be bolted in. Mostly...

Dang it. I was too late.

I'm having rapidly accelerating health issues and ended up needing a wheelchair lift. So went with a shuttle bus.

That's no joke!

Welcome! Your name is giving me a twitch in my OCD 😁😂

That is really cool! I had no idea that exists! Kinda wish I'd known about this before I bought a shuttle bus and kind of glad I didn't..... Those can't be cheap! Employees like that is one reason I was a very early retiree. Heck I didn't even ask them to help me with the bees! How hard can...
