    Funny enough I had a Panda in Spain at first I thought it would suck. But even a VW golf couldn’t go half the places I took the Panda. However I think he has kids which case Unless he puts a trailer behind the Panda its not going to work for him.

    The locals getting targeted now is a big part of my neighbors nixing their trip. Plus family there also don’t want them visiting and draw attention their way. Most family that visit from the “North” bring money down for family in the “South” so avoiding the perception of cash infusion
