Only you would think of producing your OWN license plate!! What a great idea. When I made my first trip to Boquete to meet my future in-laws, I had an old Rambler station wagon with "Dragon Wagon" in white letters on the front bumper. My future father-in-law rode back to Panama City with us and we hadn't gone far before I noticed folks on the roadside waving at us. Soon my future FIL tapped my shoulder and motioned for me to pull over. Since my Spanish hadn't developed yet, I assumed that he knew the folks and next thing I know I'm hauling more folks. I learned years later that he was charging for rides since the vans then used to put the cities they served in white letters on the front bumper and the folks were mistaking me for commercial transport!!! My FIL never completed school but then he never starved to death either because he never missed an opportunity to see a deal! haha Jim and Nena in Texas Don Ray,
