Last summer, I was at my family's cabin in Kelowna and decided to drive down to Seattle for a night to watch the ball game. We took the cabin car (Alberta registered, to my dad), and ended up getting stopped at the border for a few hours while they searched the car, and asked us the same set of questions repeatedly.
I think their suspicion stemmed from a few things. First, like you, the vehicle was not registered to us. Secondly, we were driving an Alberta registered vehicle and crossing the border in Abbotsford. And thirdly, we were only coming in for one night. We explained the entire situation, but had to do so repeatedly before they finally let us go. What a gong show it was, I'm glad we had left ourselves some extra time to make it into the city.
