I recall driving around in this car and it was a regular night after they won the cup. To this day it still totally shocks me.
As for American's buying up Canadian cars in droves, it's actually a big thing and big business. There is a little paperwork sure but curber's and dealerships are literally buying car carrier loads of them.

This doesn't sound like you had one instance of paying California state tax.

I was literally buying cars from dealers for profit, paying California sales tax, import duties, GST and Canadian inspection and it was still worth it.
