Us Canucks are just so darned friendly, so when Chrysler Canada CEO Reid Bigland took a trip through the Detroit-Windsor tunnel in a fresh off the line Challenger he was happy to show it off to the interested border guards. Ok, so they stopped him and did what any self respecting car enthusiast would do. They kept him there and checked their captive thoroughly. Everything of course but his ID.

According to Bigland, there was about an hour delay once he was finally allowed to continue on his way. I’m sure the non enthusiast cross border shoppers were less than enthused!
