Expired Tourist Visa

Hello All

I traveld down to Cabo San Lucas with my wife and overstayed our
tourist visa by a few weeks. So now I'm not exactly sure what is the
best way to fix the situation. We want to stay here longer and
something like an extension would be best. I know that you need to go
outside of the Mexico to renew your tourist visa but I am worried about
driving up Baja to the border and getting stopped by a checkpoint and
the police asking for my paperwork. Has anyone encountered this
situation like this? If so, how did it work out? Has anyone figured out
a way that allowed them to renew or extend their expired visa without
having to cross the border? If so, what was it? We want to apply for an
FM-3 and don't want to do anything that could potentially screw us.

I figure my options are
1) Drive up and deal with the checkpoints
2) Try to fly out of the country which means dealing with immigration
at airport
3) Try to go into an immigration office and ask for an extension on an
expired visa (probably highly unlikely)

Other options ?????

Any help or advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

And thanks for sparing me the lecture. I have heard it a million times
from some of my friends here. Next time I will get the 180 days even if
we only come for the week. Rookie mistake on our part.

Our tourist visa's have only been issued for 30 days so hopefully we
can get an extension. I will try to go to the immigration office
sometime today and see what happens.
