A bit more information is needed. If you want to drive to La Manz with a tourist visa then the Banjercito website is the starting point. Banjercito is the bank of the Mexico Federal armed forces.

Basically, you can apply online, pay the deposit ($400 USD for 2007 and newer vehicles) and get a permit for up to 180 days -- same duration as your tourist visa. The deposit is credited to your credit card when you "check out" of Mexico at the 21 km check point. Failure to "check out" your vehicle means your vehcle is still registered in Mexico -- you will not be able to renew your vehicle license NOB and you forfeit your deposit.
Vehicle insurance is required -- buy it online for approx $100 USD for 6 months or pay an exhorbinant daily rate at the 21 km check in points.
I have done this multiple times at both the Nogales and Laredo border crossings. Confusing the first time.
If, you have Residence Status -- it is different (and expensive) story. I imported my 2007 Ford Ranger last summer after applying for and receiving my Residence Permanente staus. Overall the cost was approx $7,000 USD. I have been delaying posting about this process while the New La Manz site (thanks Spencer) got up and running.
