it turns out, exists in argentina too. i was hoping to score some really low-cost tires, but the cheapest was only about 5% cheaper than in puerto madryn (or about twice the price in the us). the car is certainly starting to make more noise than before, and the steering feels a bit strange (kinda like a loose belt or flat tire). i think another cv joint might be on it&#8217;s way out, but no noise yet. or maybe it&#8217;s because the camber angle of the front wheels are now different.<\/p>\n<p>mar del plata is a nice big city &#8212; i think i like cities. we got in kind of late, so didn&#8217;t get to see much&#8230;.but from what i saw, it seems quite nice &#8212; according to lonely planet, it&#8217;s kind of the getaway for the rich from buenos aires (but it also has a population of about 800k). we&#8217;re in the same room as a couple of kite boarders from buenos aires&#8230;.apparently kiteboardng is pretty big around here.<\/p>\n<p>also, courtesy of francois, here are some pics from our time in northern peru (where the sentra got a broken cv joint, a short in the brake switch, was stuck in a ditch&#8230;.and both the sentra and i were throwing up liquids because of the altitude&#8230;.good times!): http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/album.php?aid=2215585&amp;id=225041&amp;l=8ab9f63ddc<\/p>\n<p>(a few of Francois&#8217; pics are below)<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style
