There's a bus that goes between Detroit and Windsor? How do they handle customs?

It's a regular Transit Windsor run also with specials to games and events. There are walk in immigration offices at both ends to handle people on feet.

Nice photos. Windsor / Detroit looks like an interesting area, the only place where you go south to get to Canada.

God, I love the smell of ethanol in the morning!
Seriously, the noise and the smells really add to the experience.

Had a righteous case of deja vu at turn 5, a 90 degree lefthander.

That corner man in the picture worked a similar turn in Toronto last summer. It wasn't deja vu; I actually had seen this scenario before.

Nice set of pictures. I did not realize how much sculpture Windsor has!

I have not seen the tunnel in years either, I always take the bridge.

The racecars brought back memories of when Detroit had the Formula 1 Grand Prix in the streets of downtown Detroit (which I attended for a few years) and then on Belle Isle later. After F1 pulled the plug on Detroit, CART racing continued on Belle Isle.
