Walking from Matamoros to Brownsville

I plan on walking into Matamoros in the morning and return by foot in the afternoon. Which is the typically the best / quickest bridge to use coming back? I know wait times can be long and I would like to minimize that!

Also, is Uber available in Matamoros? I've seen conflicting reports here whether it works. Thanks.

1999 Land Rover Discovery I Full Body Swap

Are there any mechanics or body men that can do a full body swap on a '99 Land Rover Discovery I? My Rover is far gone, and would like to swap it for one with no rusted parts. I already have the donor Rover.

Stop complaining

Stop complaining about ICE. THERES A WAY TO COME TO THIS COUNTRY LEGALLY!! YES IT WILL ALWAYS BE A LENGTHY AND EXPENSIVE PROCESS, BUT THATS THE LAW. IF PEOPLE DONT WANT TO GET TAKEN BY ICE SIMPLY DONT CROSS ILLEGALY. AND STOP TRYING TO SHOW YOUR MEXICAN HERITAGE PRIDE IF YOU RECEIVE FOOD STAMPS, HOUSING AND W.I.C . YOU WEREN'T DISPLAYING PRIDE WHEN SOTTING IN THOSE OFFICES BEGGING FOR GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE

Crossing border questions

I know this is probably not the best sub for these questions but I’m sure some of you might have experience with this which is why I’m posting here to get these questions answered.

I am a US citizen going to Brownsville/SPI next week to visit my long distance girlfriend from Matamoros where we will be staying on SPI. I am wildly ignorant on the border stuff and her understanding of it isn’t great either but last year she got her tourist visa so that she could cross with her family to go shopping in Brownsville.

The plan is that I will be flying into Brownsville/SPI International Airport and she will be crossing on foot and taking an uber to the airport to meet me and we will take an uber together to an Airbnb in SPI that we will stay at for a week. She is concerned about bringing her clothes and stuff with her as she is worried the border guards will think that she is trying to illegally stay here. To make matters worse, she is crossing to see me, who is an American citizen and that might be an awkward situation to explain to the border guards. Additionally, I plan on crossing with her the next day to go to her house in Matamoros and celebrate her mom’s birthday, although there is a growing concern about us crossing the border to Mexico together and we’re thinking it’s best if her parents cross to Brownsville and spend time with us there. She’s getting paranoid about it to the point where she wants to delete our conversations on her phone so that they can’t check to see if we are a couple.

These are the questions I have:

Can she cross the border with luggage and truthfully tell the guards what she is doing without making them suspicious of her?

What do I need to do to cross the border as a US citizen? I have my passport and drivers license

Would I be able to cross with a rental car? Moreso just seeing if this is a possibility but her parents will drive her to the border and pick us up there

Would it be a good idea to cross together?

We want to go about this truthfully and legally, we have no bad intentions, but I fear this border thing may complicate our visit and the closer I get to visiting her, the more I worry about it.

Any advice is appreciated, really am looking for advice and answers from people who have experience with this stuff rather than trying to Google everything

Amazon “2 day shipping”???

Is it normal for prime items to be more than 2 day shipping?

I have prime so that’s not the problem.

It seems like everything is 5+days

Planes? Helicopters?

MY QUESTION WAS ALREADY ANSWERED BUT I NEED KARMA OR WTV

What’s flying over our skies? Those aren’t normal airplanes. What’s going on? Why are they here? What’s their purpose? I’ve counted 7 as of now. I feel like this can’t be anything good. Why would they be out at night? What are they hiding?

Update: it’s been a MINUTE a single MINUTE. And the planes I’ve counted are already at 10. What. Is. Going. On.

Thank y’all for explaining. Y’all alpha for that. But getting all defensive over a single post is crazy. “The sky isn’t falling.” Like my bad bro, sorry for asking ig.

Which is it then

In this article a professor says that sonic booms do cause building damage. https://www.yahoo.com/news/regulators-investigating-reports-property-damage-201307473.html We feel our houses shake like crazy during rocket launches. And yet local news and officials try to gaslight us into thinking no pasa nada.

Looking for honest mechanic

Recently my 2018 Chevy Silverado has been making a noise like something is vibrating underneath the driver side. It doesn’t happen when my truck is at a stand still only when driving and at different speeds. It always comes and goes it’s not constant. Charlie Clark said it was one thing when it wasn’t and another mechanic tried to lie to me 😡 so any info would be great.

Nature themed activities

Hello all—I’m going to be staying in the area for two weeks for work at the end of January and will have 4 days off to do tourist-y activities. I would like to do nature themed activities like hiking, birding and anything to do with animals. I’m going to visit South Padre Island for a day or two. Would you suggest any places to check out around Brownsville/South Padre Island?

Also I am thinking about driving to Aransas National Wildlife Refuge to see whooping cranes which is just north of Rockpoint. Would this be doable in one day (I’m thinking Saturday)? Thanks for your help in advance!!
