US customs are BASTARDS!!

I drove all the way To the Fort Erie Bridge this morning and was planing on going to pennsylvania to trade my EL front clip which was already purchased by the guy in the states!

I get stopped! ok thats fine, cuz i could already see this happening!
They Strip MY F****'n car! think i have drugs!! then they assume the parts are stolen! :fustrated It was insane! i was stuck there at customs for 2 1/2 hours, I showed them ownership papers that matched the parts! They dont believe........ then kept telling them the truth!! I was going down there to trade the front for a set of Skunk2 cams and gears. They kept telling me they have to see a recipt! WTF its off MY F***N CAR U DUMB MOTHER F****ers, RRRRRRR i have never been so pissed b4 and all this **** happens cuz of Sep 11. they were being pure ****** about it, Canadian customs didn't give a rats ***! going and coming back, i mean the could have hasseld me too thinkn i just picked up the parts from the USA, but they didn't. sorry but i just had to get this out of my system, u have to understand this was a waste of time u would be pissed too!

Ya it was my Dads ride too! they took some panels off, even checked inside my flashlight!, under the car, fenders and so on. at least 30 mins. and i had to sit there and watch... They Didn't find ****! and on top of that they took a pic of me and finger prints, i personally think that is a pretty hard *** bridge to get acorss without getting pulled aside, i saw a nice 2door BMW looked like the M series!! getting searched! Hummer, Tahoe, Tons of minivans! its like nobdy really gets through unless they have US plates!

Well u can't blame the US for this.....i'd be a up tight ***** too if i were a customs officer and my country was constantly threatened and in fear of being attacked...cause of stupid moves by my own gov't

but still that sucks...in my orignal post i was gonna put file some kinda of complaint but i thought nah don't do that or they'll pull u to the side everytime....but meh......they already have ur prints now...so might as well go all out on them too...see if u can file complaints or anything.....unless they put all the panels back together??

ya the panels were put back on, it was only the rear ones (trunk compartments) not the door panels, they checked a lot of other things like the weather striping around the doors!

ggot you beat ./.. I got to see the little interogation room.... basically because of a computer glitch that resulted in them thinking I was in the states for the past few years illegally...

they wanted to know where I've been what I've done etc... etc....

that was a few hours of wasted time.....

I have only crossed the border once in the last year and I want no part of going back ever again. Bastard treated me like i was a murderer and gave me **** for 100 things that had nothing to do with who i was. They searched my car and all my bags 3 times and still accused me of smuggling ****. Finally when i crossed the border I pissed on the first american structure i could find and came back! Obviously they dont want turists there. Canadian Customs? haha they guy took my license asked my name and address and verified it off the card and let me back in
