Crossed over at Lukeville/Sonoyta at about 12:30 p.m. on Thursday. The few vehicles ahead of us got the green light on the Mexican side. Well, we ended up with the "dreaded" red light. Don't know whether it is random or not, but seems like we were stopped because we were driving a newer car...

Thanks for the clarification about the FMM. It seems that, although technically required by Mexican law, it is not something that is enforced in the Puerto Penasco area. Didn't want to run afoul of the law my first trip into Mexico :-)
