If you're an adventurous person thirsting for crazy times, you may want to consider crossing the border into Tijuana, where the wild party threshold gets pushed up a few significant notches. (Note: The editors of MSN Autos do not condone actually doing this.) For this, you'll want a ride capable of conquering the apocalypse — namely, the Ford F-150 in SVT Raptor trim. With more than 13 inches of wheel travel from its Fox Racing suspension and 411 horsepower erupting from its 6.2-liter V8 engine, the Raptor is street-legal, off-road debauchery at its finest. Considering its irreverence for paved roads, you may even consider setting out south past Tijuana to explore the rugged rural areas of Mexico, perhaps even making your way all the way around to Cancun. — J.T.

    Maybe, it's hard to say since most Canadians get a new car every 10 years
