As far as I know, your only option is to return to the US of A and re-enter Mexico to renew both your FMM and the permit for the car.

If someone knows of a secret alternative method, I'd like to know!

Good point. I should use that option some time. A nice trip to visit Oaxaca and Chiapas and then into Guatemala sounds like a good way to renew visa and car permit.

Neither the FMM or temporary car pass are renewable. You must leave with your vehicle & return. Technically they could give you a hard time about immediate return but so far no body has reported a problem. Guatemala or Belize sound good but not sure I'd take anything worthwhile there as that where all the junkers go and a real premium on newer cars. Also, not sure about additional insurance to protect in Guatemala or Belize

"Renew" was a bad choice of words. I realize that they both are single entry documents and you must leave and return, getting new docs. It just feels like a renewal since you essentially receive a new version of the same document but with fresh dates.

If I go all that way I'd spend a few days in Guatemala but insurance (at least liability) is a very good point. My 9 year old car is closer to junker than new car!
