Easier to get your vehicle started then fix the starter or buy a battery.

The photo is of 2 Dominicans in Santiago D.R. pushing a Dominican van on a Dominican hill top.

Great breezes, no flooding, less bugs,

But lot's of sand/dust from the breezes.

My roof top has been coated in sheets of asphalt.
The sheets of asphalt on the raised cinder blocks and the paint around the top, outside edges have been sand blasted away by the wind.

BTW, the vehicle being pushed in the photo is a daily occurrence in front of my house in the D.R. by my neighbors.

Hill top in Sosua and I never notice the dust unless I drive to Cabarete. Besides I will trade a little dust for less mosquitoes, flies, floods and buffo toads. Low lying coastal plain along ocean is a haven for these pests.
