People...I am from a Latin American Country....and we do drive our cars in the street, everywhere in the city, no need for black suburbans, or armed guards, etc... that really depends where in Latin America... I am from Panama, and down here you can drive, and enjoy with no problems af far as security.... I don understand that in the rest of the other countries it is very unsafe... luckly we do not have those issues... Now that someone mentioned Cayenne this is the country (per-capita) with the most cayennes in the world... we have less than 3 million people in the whole country and 400 cayennes rolling around! how´s that? 5 Gallardos, 2 LP640, 1 Diablo, 30 ferraris overall... and the only 2 997 GT3 send from the factory to Latin America as well.... many others...to many to list... Not tryng to be a Dick but I think people have to know that not all latin american coutries are what you guys see in movies....

some lady that worked next door to me, her brother got shot in brazil while there was a robbery going on in some super market.. crime rate is high over there, and alot of people have told me the same thing you guys are discussing, if you' have some sort of valuable item on you, you'll be kidnapped or killed.

granted, not all countries all extremely dangerous, some are worse than others.. consider yourself lucky in Panama for the time being, that is all I have to say. Things change overnight down there... I seemed to remember a certain person named Manuel Noriega not that long ago...

We was in ski holidays and meet a bank director from columbia and he has also only 2 old Nissian and two new Nissian. He said he can get a S or something other for many money but it is to dangerous there. I can understand him.

To prevent carjacking in Rio, Brazil you dont have to stop for red tri lights, amazing. There are also companies advertising just as you would see beer billboards, advertising bulletproofing the glass on your cars.
