Not sure if this is the guy but back in the day there was a local guy that brought a caddy to the drag races.

On our vacation, we saw plenty of these Border patrol outfits running the St Clair river in between Pt. Huron Michigan and Canada on the opposite shore. They would go screaming by at about 50 mph evey 1/2 hour to 45 minutes during the night.

I'm sure it's to catch all the Canadian PhD's illegally crossing the US border in search of work we won't do...

Random cool bus conversion I saw the other day:

Alot of nurses come from Canada to work at our hospitals.

There is so much BP activity because of the border crossing at the Blue Water Bridge. It wasn't this way before 09/11/01. In recent years they built a new BP headquarters just south of Port Huron(Marysville) so you have many patrol vehicles covering land, sea, and air.
