I know if you take a US plated car south of the free zone you need a permit good for 6 months. I was told you have to take the car back to the port of entry to renew the permit. My question is can you take the car to another port of entry to renew it, or does it have to be the same place you got...

I was just outside of Sonoyta on the highway to Rocky Point when 2 or 3 cop cars, plus a army truck whizzed past me at high speed coming from Sonoyta. I did not see them again until we hit Rocky Point. At the place on the way out of town where the army checkpoint used to be. What seemed unusual...

I have my mail sent to a P.O. box in Lukeville. I often order stuff from Amazon. It's a bit of a hassle to drive up to Lukeville to get the packages. I was wondering if anyone on the forum has ordered anything from Amazon or anyone else in the states and had it sent directly to their address in...

I was driving back to Rocky Point from Sonoita about 2 weeks ago, at night. It was the first time I had ever done this. I was a bit concerned because of no lights on the highway, except my car lights. I was pleasantly surprised that the center line illuminated markers go all the way along the...

I am on Sandy beach at the Spa. My Telmex connection is really slow a lot of the time. When I check wireless networks in the area they all seem to disappear when the connection is slow. Anyone know if this problem is unique to Sandy Beach, or just overall lousy service from Telmex?

Is it possible to rent a car in Rocky Point, to drive across the border to the USA. I was told by someone that you have to have a Mexican license (I have a Canadian license). This seems odd to me as most people renting cars would be tourists. If it is possible to rent a car here to take across...

Has anyone heard of the Auto Club of Mexico? Apparently they are sort of like the AAA in the states. I only found one site on the net related to it, where it states. "This prepaid emergency road side service will offer basic roadside assistance for you and your vehicle. This emergency roadside...

I bought a 2002 Jaguar X-Type here in the states that I was planning to drive to Rocky Point (probably not the wisest car choose I could have made) On a long shot I thought I would ask if there is anyplace capable of servicing it while we are there?

I have read a lot of reports that up to 25% of Mexican prescription drugs are fake, and potentially harmful (according the the FDA) Does anyone on the forum have experience dealing with Pharmacies in Rocky Point for prescription Meds? I would love to hear any feedback, comments, or pharmacy...

Hi I was wondering if anyone knows a US internet, or cell provider that provides coverage in Rocky Point. I am a real novice regarding cell providers. Anyone know what my best bet would be for a cell provider. I was also wondering if high speed internet has made it to Rocky Point yet. Chris
