LOL
There are about 12 states that are more northerly than where I live in Canada and parts of other states are north of me as well. So easily 25% + of the US states or parts thereof are farther north, strange Eh?

Touche'.......lol.......customs...might be the problem....afraid there may be a weapon hidden in the those pkgs.....we ship up there...so they must search the hell out of them....which costs manpower and money...I wouldn't truck anything across the border....takes longer to get in than the trip up there...let alone getting back out... I think the Mexicans have it worked out...they are in and out in no time.... Si!...

Your side has SWAT teams that look menacing, they distrust everybody and look like they want to shoot someone. Our guys say welcome to Canada. Your guys are looking for the head shot.

My son has had his car tossed twice at the US border, squarer looking bunch you never did see.

Taking the SRT into Canada last year I was looking for the vehicle export office and was approached by a heavily armed and masked agent with a dog. I thought Oh! Oh!, but he lifted his balaclava so as to look friendly and said we must be looking for the office, he said he answered that question a lot. Nice friendly guy, not too sure about his dog though.


They x-rayed the car looking for whatever, there is a faint glow from the car in the dark now.
It looks good and is easy to find at night.

Not a problem. I was sweating and banging my head against a wall for an hour trying to figure out why I could see that voltage was getting to the wires with a tester, but no power from the camera. My father in law is an electrician and couldn't even figure it out.

These cars can be goofy but I'm glad you got yours working too.

They also may have come to the conclusion that there was no way to hide anything illegal in such a small pretty car as the XF... Well, maybe!
