Introduction

There is a street in the city of Compache, Mexico that must rank among the steepest streets in North America. A car costs $9,200 new and when you rent cars in Mexico, it's always a negotiation if you have to pay optional insurance. David Stein: I was at the bottom of the hill on this street and hesitated before deciding to ascend it in a rented 2017 Volkswagen goal with a manual transmission.
