I figure that the LCD driver is a hazard we all face, but you seem to be saying you must deal with not only dangerous destinations but anywhere you live is a dangerous origin as well. Damn, that is a special problem.

Trying to remember how they solve it in Medellin. Armed guards?

I didn't mean to ignore this paragraph. We are always aware of our surroundings because it was our training to be so, but you're right that it is a very important aspect of owning any exotic. Lack of reasonable security is what I would consider one way to recognize a 'dangerous' destination. At least in these days and times.

Yes, isn't it a sad world we live in that there exist the dregs of society whose only aspiration in life is to ruin others' pride of ownership - and in my case, having had to wait until retirement to own my first exotic car. Yes, sad times indeed!!
