A couple of years ago I took the Corvette to Oswego, New York to watch the Supermodifieds race at Oswego Speedway. When I got to the Ivy Lea Bridge the backup at US Customs was very long. I waited about 45 minutes before my turn to be "interrogated".
Handed over my passport, the Agent asked a few questions then stepped out of the booth with the dreaded Orange Cone which he placed behind the car. The problem is of course if you are in that line behind you are trapped until they release the car. I was expecting the worst.
The guy calls over another Agent and then says, "I told you it was on 03". They then proceeded to ask all sorts of questions about the car, asked to see the motor and trunk. Twenty minutes later they let me go. No problem except for the poor people stuck behind. I figured the best thing to do was to put some distance between us because I bet some of them were really PO'ed!! It really was quite funny but they really were interested in the car, the one Agent was looking to buy one.
