Most of the time, rebuilding a carâs engine will be a personal choice. In some cases, according to Artâs Automotive, it can be an easy choice. For instance, if your car was 20 years old and had more than 350,000 miles, then itâs probably safe to say it isnât worth it.
4 miles long, the Progreso Pier is one of the longest in the world. The pier that extends from the shores of Progreso, YucatÃ¡n into the deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico is among the longest such structures in the world. Located in a port city in Mexico in the state of YucatÃ¡n, the pier was built for docking large cargo and passenger ships. The pier hasnât always reached such great lengths.
The town of Progreso, Mexico, sits on a limestone shelf that falls away extremely gradually as it gets further out to sea. As a result, when they built a pier to allow cruise ships to dock here, it had to be long. Really long. Measuring a phenomenal 6.5 kilometers (4 miles), this is the worldâs longest pier. The original pier was completed in 1942, and despite being little more than a two-lane highway, is actually quite nice looking seen from the beach.
