Yesterday I went to Tambor to have a car serviced. If you haven’t been by their new location, they have moved in and their old location is vacant and for rent. The photo above is taken from the front of the new location looking along the InterAmerican Highway toward PriceSmart.

In case you have been wondering about what was going into the old Texaco building, across from Hielo Crystal on the Interamerican Highway, as I have, I now have the answer. Last night I received a comment from Jorge Luis De Puy last night telling me that Tambor was moving a couple of days before [...]

There is a new store in down town David close to Parque Cervantes. It is the American Center. I stopped in and visited with Mike, the owner. He is here for a few of months from Ohio to get the store operational. I thought that was a smart move until he said he was going [...]

You have probably seen the movie “While You Were Sleeping” with Sandra Bullock. In it she has an infatuation with Peter Gallagher and in the initial part of the move he falls on a train track and enters a coma. Through some convoluted movie magic, Peter’s family thinks Sandra is Peter’s fiancée and a wedding [...]

From Alex:
We, China Zotye Holding Group is a Chinese new car manufacturer which has the capacity of [...]

Car dealers in Panama change so fast it is hard to keep up with them. Suzuki used to be sold and serviced by Distribuidora David. That is no longer the case. There is a new Suzuki in Panama and it is Motores Japoneses.
It appears to be a Costa Rican company, since the website is in [...]

You may remember a while back that I mentioned that the new Honda CR-V was coming out and I had put it on my wish list. Well it has arrived in Panama. I thought you might be interested in seeing the price range for the new CR-V.
This is the entry level.

I stopped by to take a peak at the new Toyota RAV-4 while I was out today. I really like the looks, but I don’t care a whole lot for the price.

I have noticed a new pickup and SUV in David recently. On it’s front, it sports the letters JMC. I have been wondering what it stood for. I had thought maybe Japanese Motor Corporation or Just More Crap or Just Might Crash or Just Made Car… All of this thinking made my brain start hurting. [...]

New tires were called for today, so I went to Tambor. They gave me the best price on the tires I wanted. I also had a four-wheel alignment, which was sorely needed because of a bad alignment by SERVICENTRO ROBINSON.
Jorge de Puy waited me on and his excellent English relieved my puny Spanish. Tambor has [...]
