Heh! I did push it a little bit, but I didn't want to be stopped for speeding. Too many legal issues and hassles involved with being a foreigner and receiving a traffic ticket...so I kept it close to the limit.

I don't remember being passed by a lot of vehicles, but that was along time ago and I may have forgotten. (I have a good memory...it's just short!)

Keep your prescriptions in the original bottle. Stop at a Tim Hortons. Say “eh”.

Call the Canadian custom guys 'sir', be polite and don't hesitate with your answers to the questions they'll ask. They can be 'hard nosed' at times...b.

In addition to a current US Passport, you will also need a Canada Non-resident Inter-Province Motor Vehicle Liability Insurance Card (just call your insurance company and they'll send you one).
I live on the border and travel regularly into Canada and this document has never been required to enter the country. We were just there last summer, entered on 90/290 then 62 to Niagra Falls, NY. Great view while still on the bridge.

It was my first time in Canada, and when I crossed the border I was immediately impressed. Gas was $1.25 and the highway speed limit was 100! Then I realized gas was $1.25 a liter (about $5.00 per gallon US at the time,) and 100 KPH is 62 MPH. It was like riding in a 200 mile long school zone.

Otherwise it was a great ride.

And BEER was about $30 a case, no bargain vacation
