Day 3- Puebla to Queretaro

This day is being reported on two days after because we experienced a little set back due to an off road experience where our little taxi kissed a concrete post, a couple of boulders and did some brush clearing. Luckily, Martin and Conrad were fine and able to climb up to the road and flag down help. Unfortunately, back at the hotel, the whole team had to pull an all nighter fixing the taxi.
Triage assessment:
Cracked oil pan and radiator.
Lower A-arm pushed back.
Exhaust smashed.
Cracked oil pump.
Bent transmission mount.
Broken wheel.
Body damage.
We were blown away by the incredible support we got from several team crews. We were taken taken in like a wounded bird and given a great place to work on our car, lent tools we were lacking, given precious fluids like oil, carb cleaner, flux, and JB weld (which is worth it's weight in gold!).
Even by 4 am, when we hit the wall and needed to get at least a couple of hours sleep, the car was still wheels off and on jack stands....
