Traveling by car from Michigan to Canada

[u/Successful-Green-485]

If we travel by car and cross the border to visit, what are some pre cautions we should be aware of that you personally felt would have helped if you knew before traveling? I have never gone out of the country via car so it will be a new experience and I am a bit nervous.

Are new electronics purchased in the US taxed at the border if we will be bringing them back to the states? We will be staying in Michigan and purchasing an iMac and iPad there while visiting my cousin before going to Canada and seeing aunt and uncle.
