Next week I have to go to the states to do some shopping except i'm kind of afraid to cross the border.

last time i was in the states they caught me trying to sneak in my sub and stuff without submitting duties so i don't know if that's in my history or not

also i'm a "young suspicious male" driving a black mercedes with limo in the back and 30 up front (so it's DARK!)

anyone know which border is more friendly then the other?

 

If you have a passport, there shouldn't be any trouble. As long as they don't find anything wrong in your car or anything. Just make sure to declare everything and they should have no reason not to let you cross the border.

 

i hear a lot of horror stories where people say that their friend's car got taken apart because they had a suspicion of drugs. they check my car every time (a good 20 minute inspection) this is my old car which was a beater compared to the new one.

i just don't want my car to be taken apart and then they leave me to put it back together.

 

There's always a chance of that happening. The border patrol have a lot of power if they choose to use it. It's just a risk you have to take crossing the border. Odds are they won't pick your car apart unless you're acting suspicous, or they see something suspicous.

 

don't act all uptight..... ummm I heard the cloverdale border crossing or the one out that way is fairly easy......

 

if they've found that you've tried to sneak things in before, they'll have it in their computer, no question. If they check, you'll probly get searched, going in, and coming home.

 

just relax and be honest to them, don;t try and sound like a smart *** or anything, make sure u have the proper ID and u should be fine

 

alright well we'll see how it goes. hopefully good. my gf's coming with me. i'm gonna get her to drive (license plates on my car changed since the incident at the border last time)

 

Declare everything, have a receipt for everything you buy. Be honest with them and be courteous to them as well. This to is also noted in your file for the next time.
