yeah that sounds like the Detroit-Windsor border… Last time I was coming from Windsor to go home through Detroit, they searched our car and held us for an hour for nothing. Bastards. Fuck them. I hate those American Border patrol Agents

“Great, just great. These are probably the same CBP members that let half of Osama’s brain-trust across the line a few years back.” johnnycanuck

You mean US Border Patrol members not Canadian. The guards work the side of the country you are coming into not from… a CBD agent does not do routine inspections or check the passports of cars/persons headed into the states and vice versa… so the jackarses you are referring to are US Americans not Canadians.

The Challenger is a force to be reckoned with. Well done, Chrysler!

Maybe the border patrollers were shocked that a 1970s Chrysler product was actually able to cross the border under its own power!

Well since it looks like a bath tub on wheels you can’t blame them. I’m sure they thought somehow somebody cobble this crap heap together and loaded it with drugs.

I would have been frigging PISSED if I was the one stuck behind that Challenger! Note to self: don’t follow a Challenger through and tunnels, toll booths, parking garages, etc.

I would too, I fricken love the look and it makes me want one more than a mustang to tell you the truth. But I think I would have done the same for a gt500. I haven’t seen one either .

…im in love with these new muscle cars coming out.

hand rolled cigarettes are politely confiscated without a word. I was detained once for spent brass I forgot in a trunk. I was explaining that i did not want to pollute and left lead at home.

I agree with zoomzoom. He was probably smoking a hand rolled cigarette too.

I checked out one of the mule vehicles a few weeks ago. The seats are comfortable and high quality, it’s looks sort of cool, but the car is just HUGE.

I don’t suppose Bigland being CANADIAN had anything to do with it. I mean, c’mon– he was just following The Road.

I actually saw one on the road for the first time today, on the Grand Central Parkway in Queens, it was headed west, I was going east, and ironically enough, with me in the east-bound traffic was an early 70s Challenger.

Border guard sure do take their sweet time and they don’t care if traffic is backed up into Windsor. An hour delay is a little overkill, but for Pete’s sake, get the guy a Nexus Pass already. By the way, border guards can’t take bribe, it’s in their field manual. That doesn’t mean they do their job well though. Someday, they don’t even check passport; some another day they give you grief about tinted window, which is legal in Ontario, but illegal for the front windows in Michigan. Since when does a Federal immigration agency enforce state traffic law is beyond me!

Sounds like a PR stunt pulled off by Bigland. If you tip the border patrol enough, and they’ll pretend to inspect every inch of a new vehicle that looks like it was designed in 1970.

Great, just great. These are probably the same CBP members that let half of Osama’s brain-trust across the line a few years back.

That’s a wicked awesome car, and the new Camaro is a pile of crap.

Ditto but i would have said there was weed in the glove compartment and arrested him and drove off with the Challenger….
