redbull & fake redbull (tasted almost the same btw) a weird shopping cart, i think that beetle found me, & a bus w/ a sign for a bed and breakfast near the border called "smuggler's inn" :laugh: (pssst, i think they know where their marijuana supply is coming from lol)
some sign.. they really take highschool seriously down there, just 1min south & they've got hs award stats posted. very odd. you NEVER see stuff like this in a canadian city/town. spotted a perdy bimmer.
spotted a type 3 FS:
saw this dude rollin' on hydros... chased him down & chatted, got pics - kinda cool for a beat up $1k usd total car to F around with. (although, yes, he did look like a complete dork and didn't realize it.:P) and the last pic is of
THE most patriotic american house i've
ever seen... check out the west wall - completely covered in a top to bottom painting of the Statue of Liberty. kinda neat.
Once i got to the border the Canadian inspector grilled me for a while as to the purpose of my trip & the particulars of our trade, why he wanted my wheels, why i wanted his - why it was a mutually beneficial
trade not involving the exchange of any currency etc etc... then he checked my hatch, blah blah - then told him i wouldn't not declare
anything as my brother works with them etc & i think at that point he figured i was tellin' the whole truth & nothin' but as he sent me on up the road & didn't make me pay any duty/taxes on my mom's block of cheese.
:P (low value, likely wouldn't make anyone pay those few cents when they're busy like they were - i didn't/don't get preferential treatment - just to be crystal clear on that)
They drive nice... gonna be fun for autoX when i'm back to work and can shell out for it. get a wee bit shakey at higher speeds, but otherwise perfectly fine. i spose the shakiness is due to the face that they're 175/50/13 bf goodrich "euro" tires spinning at 4billion rpm when you start getting above 100mph+.
well, anyways - that's my story!=)
oh, & these wheels are gonna be pimpin' themselves around (legally, it's allowed there, sorta!) in
Las Vegas in June!
