Warnings

Well since it is across national borders they will first start by pulling you into a building and having you sit arround for six hours. When I tried to get back FROM Canada I had a bitch of a time. Even though I had Washington plates...a Washington STATE drivers licence that matched my car title/insurance information perfectly and was oddly enough trying to get back into Washington. With my birth certificate saying I was born at a hospital in...oh my god; Washington. It shouldn't be too hard for you. They let me into Canada by just showing off my drivers licence. So after they pull you asside and commit beastly acts of sodomy on you with a few "border processing" fees. (Call them to find if ANY apply to you) It should be pretty smooth sailing. We got an honest to god Levin across the border without much effort. We had it back on a trailer and they poked a thingy arround in the gas tank of it, and looked under the hood and what not. After prodding at the seats and finding them decently cushy they lost intrest and away we went. So best advice after my long *** rant is call them up, wait on hold in the comfort of your own house to find out what they have in mind for you rather then being stuck at the border. Other then that you are really at the mercy of the hard-on of a border patrol guy. Just make sure the car is 'american' enough not to raped by in country 'conversion' processes.

How much are you getting it for? There's plenty around on our side of the border, must be a steal though if its worth the hassel of getting it.
