yeah it was a good time.. we got "Randomly" selected for a full vehicle inspection trying to get into Canada.. we ditched the decals half way, for fear that it was making us more of a target for truckers and cops to look out for.. didnt want too many compaints to be able to be pinned on us if we did get pulled over

I always thought that the decals would work against you on a speed run, but I didn't want to post that and be a killjoy. Comrade Marx was so pumped about them and all.

Damn border people!

I've never met one in any country that had a sense of humor. It must be a job requirement.

Well, Alaska is the "new" Europe, right?

I think they have French bread there now and everything.
