Just kidding. No monster trucks. But on the way back to Leon, we stopped at a car fair in Managua to visit Edgar's sister, who works for Suzuki. Toyata had set up a huge mud course to show off its all-terrain vehicles. Edgar and I did a loop in one of the SUVs, which is blurrily pictured above. Only the professional drivers are allowed to actually drive the car, but as a passenger, you get tossed around a whole lot. Even though you only go about 5 miles per hour, you need a seatbelt so that you don't get thrown all over the inside of the car.

I went to a monster truck rally once! But actually riding on a course like that looks like way more fun.
It was a cool ride, but it only lasted about 5 minutes. We didn't get to crush any other cars, but we did ride tilted at about 30 degrees or so.
