Doing restorations across Canadian border?

[Lynn]

A while back a guy (who shall remain nameless) in Canada bought some parts on ebay from a guy (who shall remain me). He asked that I mark each box "antique auto parts value less than $20 US". I told him he would be out of luck if there were a damage claim, but he was willing to take the chance.

At the time I had no idea why.

Boy, was Eric Cartman right.

I got hassled bringing a coupla bumpers back from Ontario to Detroit by the US Customs guy. He was middle Eastern descent and barely spoke English. I couldn't understand what he was asking half the time and he got pissed at me when I asked him to talk slower.

Told him the bumpers were in there when I went up earlier in the day and no one asked about them then. He finally let me go. Wouldn't even look at my passport (which I did have with me).

You'd think they'd have more important things to be concerned with than an individual with some old car parts. Then again, though, maybe I was being "profiled"...???

Don't you hate it when people of ethnic origin are put in a position of assistance to the general public?. Not that im being racist it's just agrivating when these people can barely speak english!. Now that alot of companys are using india as an information centre it makes it hard to get your point across.

Bought a car out of Canada thru an Estate.....had to hire an agent to get it across the border.....when I went to register the car it was noted that the title was signed by the guys wife as he had passed away.....the title was only in the man's name........See where this is going.....
the local agency wouldn't accept the paperwork and wanted verification of the Death Certificate and notorization of the wifes signature......I bought the car from a 3rd party....It's still sitting waiting for it's turn with no paperwork.......
That's my Canada story......off topic......but still a story.........

Dave, no, they didn't want to see your profile.

Come to think about it, they wouldnt want to see mine either.

I thought it'd be ironic if I ended up in Gitmo with girls panties on my head for trying to get back into the United States through a Mid east customs official. You pay good money for that in Vegas, I hear.
