Ferrari....

Sorry to tell you this...but a smaller "multa" of $2-300 US could have been your way out of this.

You should learn the phrase "Num da pra da um jeitinho ?"........"Is there a way around this ?"

I have been the subject of a customs bribe for a digital camera I had. All I did was that I asked how much of a fine they wanted me to pay and it was easy.

R$100 got me out. It was no big deal....kind of humorous actually.

hfly is right too....your story will be told to their grandkids unfortunately.
