| Driving to the United States with an "N"?
Not sure if anybody has asked this or if this thread fits in the right category, but are you allowed to drive down to the states with your N?

If you're driving down more than 1, it's not a problem. It's coming back up that will be the problem.

When I had my N went down a good 50+ times. No problems.

I was also wondering if I could bring 2 people with me instead as well :$... But they'd check on me right? So no?
Another question for you guys.... How $$$ do you guys usually spend going down and back from Seattle on gas and stuff? Just wanna know what you guys do while you're down there.

depends how long you stay. Went a few weeks ago with gf. stay a night and we spent ruffly a grand with hotel and everything. When i do go for a day trip. dont really spend that much on cloths. i find there's nothing really good at the outlet nor nordstrom. Bring 500? I wouldnt spend that much on shopping tho. I go for the food. Talulip buffet and red lobster. That shits fucking great. And if your worried about getting taxed, just put some cloths you bought on while crossing the border. Asian style  | |

Cheesecake Factory...
Mmmmm, Red Velvet Cake...
Sorry what was the question?? 
I have only been to seattle once while driving with my N and i had 2 people in the car and they did not say a word. They are not cops, all they care about is that you are not trafficking illegals.
Have a good trip!

they don't check your driver's license when crossing the border. You could have gone across without a valid DL for all they care.

They DID ask me about my EID N because it looks similar to the BCID's (I got the Enhanced ID since I don't have a passport). However, I just cleared up which card was my license and was on my way.

What you need to worry about is getting in an accident and have your insurance voided for driving contrary to restrictions, while carrying said extra passengers.
A 1.7L d17a2 should average 40-45mpg if you don't speed, expect to get approximately 600km out of your tank.
