My in-laws always buy insurance before visiting from abroad. My wife demands this from them to avoid the situation you just described. Travel insurance is very common in Europe. I guess they are aware that medical costs in the USA are very high and not covered by the goverment. My advise would be he pretends to be an illegal alien.

The 2010 Prius may have an issue with the regenerative braking system. I own a 2010 Prius IV and sudden loss of brakes has happened once. I’ve driven the car 8,000 miles so far. This is my reply to a priuschat.com thread where several Prius owners were discussing the issue.

From 12-18-09:

“I experienced this on my IV last week. To make a right turn, I started braking just as the front wheels hit a bump on the road. Braking power was not there with the usual pedal pressure. It was like the breaks became very weak. It lasted for about 1/2 second and then it started to brake as usual. I may have increased the pedal pressure to force this. I almost missed the turn. No other incidents since or before. I will try to replicate the event under safe conditions.”

From today’s U-T:

Better to read the U-T than Mexican news:

from the homepage of Mexico City’s El Universal 2/1/10 as of 9pm PST:

Comando mata a dos policías en Guanajuato 21:16
Chocan soldados y zetas en Tabasco; tres detenidos 19:50
Federales enfrentan a sicarios en Torreón 21:22
Balacera deja 7 sicarios muertos en Sonora 15:20
Suman 16 muertos tras ataque en Juárez 14:58
La Familia convoca a acabar con Zetas 12:16
Atacan bar de Torreón; fallecen 10

Translation:

-gunmen kill two police officers in the state of Guanajuato

-Mexican soldiers and Zetas (drug cartel) fight in the state of Tabasco.

-Mexican federal police combat gunmen in the city of Torreon

-Gun fight leaves 7 gunmen dead on the state of Sonora.

-16 dead after attack in the City of Juarez

-La Familia (drug cartel) asks (other drug cartels) to join and wipe out the Zetas (drug cartel)

-Attack in bar leaves 10 dead.

Another typical day in Mexico. My concern is that this war (10,000 dead since 2007) may spill to San Diego and other border cities.

My lease was up last November and I found most UTC apts complex had concessions and deals. I rented a better unit than the one I had been renting with 2 months free rent for a 12 month lease. This effectively puts my rent back to 2004 price. The office manager told me that they were requesting the complex owners to move away from concessions and just lower the base rent. The unit that I Vacated has not been rented yet.
