not coming because of that stupid idiot saddam insane

well..

i dont feel the need to sit at the border in my fully done up iroc...and wait for hours while they check the iroc for something they THINK i have hidden...they take the car apart then hand me a screwdriver and say..OK PUT IT BACK TOGETHER"..

soo.....im just going to the camaro nationals in canada july 13-15 instead.. i dont know who else feels the same..

I cross the border at least monthly, at both Queenston/Lewiston, and in Buffalo/Ft. Erie. Have for the past 3 years. The American border guards are a little xenophobic, but that's their job. They're not unfair.
A white guy in an IROC isn't at the top of their suspect list.

I've only been randomly searched twice, never denied entry. I would bet that you'll be fine.

Dude, what's wrong with you? Why do you make a big deal over everything? Nobody gives a damn about you and your car. Get off your high horse little man.

Normally,I'd tell you to calm down, and be a little respectful, but I'll let it slide for one reason, IROC2NV , I just hope you realize you're blowing this out of proportion, if they stop you, they'll just think you're some other punk ***** in town, not that I care , LOL j/k , seriously though, you're car may look different, but it's not like you're car is suspicious, I mean heck,t he last thing a terrorist would want is a very noticable car.

I hope you'll reconsider, and if you feel I'm being too harsh, I apologize.

hey, iroc2nv, if i may say something..
i've been wearing a trenchcoat since 1995, i sometimes support makeup, i wear nail polish, i have many rings, i like leather stuff.. buckles, big heavy boots, and i have long black hair..
if you're really scared of the border people, i'll go meet up with ya and go a car a head of ya, if they have any problems with anybody, it'll be me.. i don't care about stripping my car's interrior.. i'm down to 45 minutes to put it all back together (yeah, i strip 'er down a few times..... damn stereo wires and rattles)

*coughs* not that i'm a freak or anything....

i'll probably be toning it down for the nats, to almost normal like. (i'll have to buy some colored clothes!)


seriouslly tho, if you want me to hold your hand crossing the border, i would help you.. it's on my way from alberta

and mark, don't worry, you won't be able to pick out the goth guy posing as a normal person in the crowd... except maybe my hair...

Sorry dude. But seriously, relax man, none of us are gonna mess with your car, and like they said, the border police don' t care. They're looking for the guys who look like they're obviously trying waaaay to hard to fit in.

Yeah, in a white van with a ladder on top, and one of the taillights are out.....

Maybe the police department in MD can find that one, shouldn't take TOO long....

iroc2nv

ok first off they can not take your car apart and then just leave it. no mater what you think or have been told they CANT do it. there is even a # you can call the RCMP if you have problems with the US boarder gards. look it up and you will see that i am right

2 there is always a chance when crossing that you will have to wait in a line. ever tryed to cross on a long weekend?

if you dont want to go then just say you dont want to go. saying your afraid of the boarder and terrorist just bring the terrorist that much closer to what they want. (people afraid to do the thing they want to do)


i will still be going

Tell ya what. I am not far from NYC, I was working at Newark Airport on 9-11. If there are any terrorists gonna pull some stunt, chances are its in Jersey. I dont care, I have life to get on with, as do the rest of us. If some thing happens, then it happens. You cant stop it, its like a car thief. If they want it, they get it. However, like a person trying to steal my car, If i see them, and catch them, I will pummel them into submission and dump them in a river tied to a large rock. Then life will still go on, for me at least.

terrorist attack

Even if there was a terrorist attack going to happen we would no! duh, the government would raise the color thing to blue or somthing and then we would all be safe.....

but serious you have a one in a million chance to be killed by a terrorist attack....you have more chance of likely being killed driving down there in a freak accident or drunk driving incident then terrorist attack.

have fun either way

Taken over by whom?

I think Canada's foreign policy makers are A LITTLE BETTER at making friends than your country's. Nothing personal I like the US a lot, and even have a home in RI, but people that live in glass houses...
