Mexican Cars and Laws

In 1903, is when cars first arrived in Mexico.  There were 136 cars in mexico within the first year.  And By 1906 there were over 800 cars.  There top speed was 25 mph. There was a tax on car owners until 1911.  The first car in mexico was a buick.  In 1925, Ford Motor Company was also established, and as of 2011 remains the longest-running brand in the country.  There are also special restrictions on when you can drive your car in mexico.  Like if your plates end in a 5 or 6 then you can't drive on Mondays and the first Saturday of the month.  Plates ending in a 7 or 8 you cant drive on Tuesdays and the second saturday of the month.  Plates ending in 3 or 4 cant drive on wensdays and the third saturday of the month.  Plates ending in 1 or 2 cannot be driven on thursaday or the fourth saturday of the month.  If they end in a 9 or 0 you cannot drive on Friday but you CAN drive on saturday.

I learned that mexican car companys got started really early.  And there were only a few cars in mexico when they first came out.  Even after a couple of years there still wernt many cars but now mexico has the same amount of cars as the united states if not more than us.  I also learned that mexico is really strict when you can drive.  That is much diffrent than here because we can drive whenever we want and we dont have a schedle when we can drive.
