(Go fig!) When I turned 18 (twenty-something years ago), the legal drinking age in Michigan was 18. Somewhere between 18 & 21, Michigan upped it to 21. Ever since, Windsor has been *the* scene for 18-21 year olds. > Anyways, > at the Canada Customs booth, they were asked if they had any guns in the > car, and they said no.

Jeez, the horror stories I've heard about people who don't take customs seriously. P*ss off a customs agent and enjoy watching your car get stri*p*ped. You get to put it back together. No kidding. All of my experiences with customs have been non-events, but that's because all the joking stops, the radio turns off, we look the customs agents in the eyes, give them straight & courteous answers, and we're on our way. I've never had my car searched. GA __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Friends. Fun. Try the all-new Yahoo! Messenger. http://messenger.yahoo.com/
