the one time i went to pick stuff up in oroville the u.s. boarder guard was being such a goof. she said something like, 'so you expect me to believe that you drove all the way from kelowna to come down to oroville just to pic up truck parts?' i really had to bite my tongue. i asked her if she's ever price-matched auto parts in the us/canada and she said, 'no'. i told her i was going picking up about $1500 worth of stuff (showed her my receipts) and then told her that if i bought the exact same product in canada it would be closer to $2700. she just looked at me and said, 'oh'
