I seem to remember years ago, there were threads on here about Canadians with US registered vehicles. The question was about Canadians from Vancouver who owned summer homes in Birch Bay WA. While there, they bought a small car to run around with while down there. They thought they would drive home to pick something up. They had a really big problem at the border. To the Canadian Customs, they were IMPORTING the vehicle and taxes had to be paid. I suppose, when you think about it, how could they prove they intended to return it to the US.
I have tried to verify if this still happens, as a family member took an exotic car down to the US to get it rebuilt. After it's done, he wants to register it down there and use it while they're down there.
However he does want to come home with it sometime, so I can 'Have a go with it'. I think he's going to have a similar problem.
